Trust you to run into a problem like that
It sounds from your report that the AVOD is a downward step with narrower seating!

That was just one example. There are plenty of others. Trans-tasman is another example - current system lose half the value on a mixed airline itinerary. It is not as if you have a choice of *A airlines on the Tasman.
Changes in status earnings ok for me, though the number of status points to reach and maintain G and GE has gone up a little.
I notice East Aus to Asia on AirNZ in BP will earn the same as AKL to Asia, 210 status points. Best to do as two separate tickets to maximise the earning, I hope this will be possible.
Good news about the mixed carrier earnings, this should have been fixed years ago.
Quick query, what is the status earning for non AirNZ flights on Star Alliance?
Looked on the web page but couldn't find any details. Will it be the same as the number of Airpoints earnings?

That is just an exchange rate effect. The requirements in NZ (and everywhere other than Australia and Norfolk Island) are unchanged.

For longhaul all flights earn status points at exactly the same rate as they earn airpoints dollars. OZ partner earning chart. Note partner earning is unchanged.
My Status credits are now "up".... and interestingly they are different to the Airbucks earnings for specific flights... (I am Aussie based)
In fact the Status point crediting is the same as the NZ based Airbucks earnings for those flights...
That may of course be intentional... or related to what KF said earlier.... maybe we all earn the same status points.. and have the same qual levels now???
Well seems that us Australians are up for some great discounts. When you click on the current (pre Dec 1) partner award chart to go to the new rates, this is what you get. Obviously a mistake! Anyone seen the new rates for Aussie Airpoints members?

I saw that too! Makes this a very attractive program, with an earn:burn ratio of 1.
Am very disappointed by the devaluation of my modest balance. Based on the NZ changes and my (previously) planned redemption, I'd need 55% more dollars. Not sure what I'll do now.
lucky you..maybe i have to start again....
