While it is possible to use AirNZ APD to upgrade with Star Alliance partners, the amount needed for the upgrade doesn't make it worthwhile - In fact, it would be better to book a reward ticket in Business with APD than to try upgrading from a paid Y fare to J using APD!

In addition, the ticket booked needs to correspond to specific booking classes in order to be eligible for an upgrade as well.
