What's the point of status matching to UA before the SFO-AKL flight? The flight is already booked into Int'l business class which means you will get Lounge Access and other Business Class perks like check-in, etc. And just from that flight you will earn enough EQMs to qualify for Premier. I see no reason to status match before the flight. Or am I missing something?
