Hi All

I don't seem to be able to find an answer to this anywhere.......

Can anyone tell me, when traveling domestically on a saver ticket as a Gold Elite, if taking an extra bag, what rate does it get charged at?


EG, if you have 3 pieces do you get charged just $20 for the extra (being one included, one extra free for *G and then one piece as an 'extra') or would you be charged $50 for the third bag as the *G one was counted as your extra and the $20 was waived....??

Thanks

It used to be the latter of the two, but now it starts as $20.

As a GE:
Domestic Saver: [Free] [Free] [$20] [$50] [$150]
Domestic Flexi: [Free] [Free] [Free] [$20] [$50]

Its like Air NZ wants us to hate them, by hitting us with more fees and further devaluation of the program, and next probably cutting flights with more codeshare options that will a) earn little APD and b) earn no SP

Thanks Air NZ*

They already doing it.
Only cheap fares from CHC are on DJ and at the moment NZ not matching EK cheap flights form CHC only AKL.
Same goes for business class no comparison from CHC.

I really hope Virgin Australia join *A - I would definitely join their program

The first major step for an airline to join *A is to perform a successful code sharing/joint venture like the TT alliance. I'd put my money on DJ being in *A within 2 years.

The big unknown factor is that DJ is apparently also in bed with Delta right now, even earning MQM with them--maybe NZ will leave *A for SkyTeam? APD partner redemption is certainly more in the "spirit" of SkyMiles than *A.
