Partner Airlines Query

Hi All,

Are FC members elligible to earn TPS as well as miles on partner airlines? (im specifically thinking Air New Zealand, Malaysia Air and Gulf Air - i know that you can earn TPS with SQ)

In the Tier Points guide it states earning potential on 'other partner airlines' so i just wanted to clarify whether it was all of the partner airlines or just some of them?

Depending on distance/class/ticket type you can get Tier Points with all partner airlines

Yeah, to go along with Jonathan's reply, it does say "All other partner airlines" on that page :)

Cheers

What i dont get is that it say's you can earn FC miles on CO code sahre flight as long as your booked as a VS pas.
Code share Partners

But in Earn miles with partner Airlines it show's you can earn on all CO flights[?]
Partner airlines

Now am i being dumb or is it a typo cos i cant work it out.

What I *think* it means is this - if you're travelling on a VS/CO codeshare flight and using your FC card, then you earn miles at the FC rate rather than earning at the CO "partner" rate. I do agree that the wording is a bit confusing...

Good question - you'd think you'd just get "partner miles" wouldn't you? Then again, would VS issue the ticket if you booked with CO? [?]

What exactly defines a domestic flight?

I noticed that Malaysia Airlines do not allow earning opportunities on domestic flights, are these flights to and from other destinations in Malaysia, or do they count other parts of Asia?

My main query is whether i could earn miles on a flight from/to KUL-BKK? (To me, its not a domestic flight as they are seperate countries?)

:D

Domestic must mean within Malaysia..[?]
This is one of those ask FC questions I think!!
