sure Shazzadude agree not efficient even at discounted J at $1200 but I must add that Koru can be inferior to *G if pax travel international flights often. not so bad for oz destinations as thet are operated by NZ , I do sometimes fly on * partners and its been great to benefit from standard star perks on these but it would not make much difference if most travels are domestic =)
brucelee has made a good point that sometimes they can extend for another year given future bookings.
