Earning Points for multistop flights.

I am flying from Blackwater to Brisbane in a few weeks. The flight is actually routed via Emerald, and has a change in flight number at Emerald before going to Brisbane. In my booking this shows up as two flights, and not one flight with a tech stop. Does this mean I will earn the 1000 minimum points as well as status points for each of the flights, or does this get treated as one flight and only earns 1000 points + status points?

Cheers,
Lukasz

The way I understand it, if the flight number changes it is a different flight and you get points and SCs for each sector. Enjoy

Yes you are in luck...

You earn the 1000 point minimum per each flight ....and is not based on the total distance flown for the two flights combined..

You also earn Status Credits on the per flight basis too.

The plane just has to land...flight number does not have to change.

Each aiport the plane lands at...you get another 1000 points min.

If greater than 1000 mile is flown between airports you get the distance flown as points. This is for economy.

No I don't think that's correct. If the flight number doesn't change then points/credits are calculated based on the aggregate distance travelled, irrespective of the number of stops. If the flight number changes (or, obviously, you change planes completely) then points/credits are awarded for the individual flights.

If the flight number does not change it is only counted as one flight. Years ago the QFLink run from BNK-SYD was BNK-GFN-SYD Alas only one flight number, only 1000 points and only 20 SCs (full economy)

Since the flight number changes at Emerald, the OP will get points/SCs as per the two separate flights.

Re: Earning Points for multistop flights.

So a little more research by me then...

9.3.3 Points may be earned for each Flight Segment travelled on Eligible Flights by a member. The number of points earned is calculated using the shortest distance on the surface of the globe between the origin and destination of the Flight Segment, regardless of any intermediate stops.
9.3.4 Points for air travel will be accrued at the applicable Base Rate, as specified in the Airline Earning Table.
9.3.5 The Minimum Points Guarantee will be applied to all Eligible Flights that have a QF, JQ, 3K, VF, AA or BA flight number. The Minimum Points Guarantee is as follows:
(a) for Qantas (QF) and Jetstar (JQ, 3K or VF) - 1,000 Points for each Eligible Flight Segment travelled in Economy or Premium Economy class and 1,250 Points for each Eligible Flight Segment travelled in Business or First class or Jetstar


'Flight Segment' means a Segment that has been or is intended to be flown;

'Segment' means the portion of a journey between two consecutive points listed on an Itinerary. Segments may either be Flight Segments or Surface Segments;


and then...

^ A flight is a trip with a single flight number. If you have to change aircraft but the flight number doesn't change, it is considered the same flight. If the flight number changes during your journey, even if you continue on the same aircraft, this is considered two flights.

Re: Earning Points for multistop flights.

The answer to the question is you will receive 10SCs and 1,000 FF points for each sector, BLT-EMD and EMD-BNE. Please read my recent posts on AFF!
