This bring up the old argument around what constitutes a HVC to the airline (and alliance), and what the relative 'ranking' should be (or "who merits getting booted from the lounge first") - a business passenger, an elite G/GE in economy, or a Koru Club member?
The spend required to reach NZ*G/GE status (and *G in most *A programs) is non-trivial, particularly if self-paid.
What is the right answer?
