That's not such a bad idea. While you may not have any need to use the Airpoints for more Air NZ flights in the next few years, you may be able to earn enough to redeem on a UA, US or CO flight instead. If you want to join Airpoints, send me an email and I can give you a promo code to waive the regular NZD $50 per person joining fee.
Whatever you decide to do, best wishes for your upcoming wedding and have a sensational honeymoon down under! And we'd love to see you travel with Air New Zealand.
Hi Paul, you see the problem is in order to book a Star partner flight using Airpoints, you will have to do this through contact centre and the $100 manual booking fee cannot be avoided. Don't you think NZ should not charge this fee as it cannot be booked online. Or do you have plans to make this available online. I know a few other Star airlines have this available online for their members.
