Fair enough. I understand you like to stick to the rules. But, I am not looking to 'game' the system. I just don't need this flight and my family member does. I am happy to just let them take the flight and not encourage them to use lounge access.
I highly doubt there would be 'severe' punishment for me. The worst they could do is deny the person the right to board. Thanks anyway.
Actually you are suggesting rorting the system - if you think there is a likelihood that you will cancel you should purchase flexiplus. You would also potentially receive status points by the flight being taken when in fact you would not be entitled to them.
Also NZ lounges are frequently crowded to the point where actually entitled passengers can't get a seat or can't admit a guest - potentially due to people entering in the way you suggest.
I'm sure NZ would be more than happy to forfeit your KORU membership with no refund and ban you from NZ flights if you act in the way you suggest. And many of us would applaud.
