A simple search of:
AKL - WLG, F (Grab-a-Seat), still earns 8 SP
AKL - SYD, S (cheapest sale fare), still earns 7 SP
What I see different however, is the minor drop in Airpoints Dollars on generally the cheapest fares, and that the site now do "cents" on APD earn, rather than whole APDs.

I see no "halving" of Status points, using the "current" and "previous" points calculator/look up table?

Apologies for the Auckland-centric searches.
Didn't think of looking into regional routes instead of the outside the main trunk routes.
In fact I can see that regional routes ex-AKL also has their Status Points dropped by half on the cheapest fares.
So I guess this is Air NZ's way of slapping regional flyer's faces...

That's fine by me, even though NZ have been good in the past I've started to look around at other premium options for our international travel. Diversify away a bit from solely flying NZ. The main thing for us is leg room and comfy seating.

as long as the rates on CX metal on 086 are the same to HKG, I am relatively happy. Gutted at the downgrade of SP from 71 to 60 (min) for short haul TT flights on J
