Airpoints Dollars™ and Status Points earn is determined by the partner airline which operates the flight. Status Points are only earned on Star Alliance carrier operated flights. Certain booking classes on Partner Airlines are not eligible to earn Airpoints Dollars™ or Status Points. On a partner airline flight, Airpoints Dollars™ and Status Points may be earned on a flight by flight basis rather than a journey basis. Please note booking class eligibility and earning rates are subject to change without notice and any changes will apply based on the date you travel. Refer to the Airpoints™ terms and conditions for more information.
