BlondeBomber: Trying to find out how Air New Zealand qualifying levels will change after 28 March (day NZ and AN oficially become members) seems to be extremely difficult.

At the moment it goes something like this:

Qualifying period: 1 November to 31 October

Jade: entry level

Silver: 18000 points or 20 international flights or 50 domestic flights

Gold: 28000 points or 30 international flights or 75 domestic flights
Gold includes complimentary membership to Koru Club, which has reciprocal lounge access with all Star partners.

For those unfamiliar with the points system used, 10K pts=J class AKL-LHR return

Will update as more infor comes to hand
