As per my earlier post i have an AKL-WLG-AKL that is seat+bag and the return sector as Economy, so don't think its just CHC.

Same, WLG-DUD-WLG in Feb. Noticed this early Nov but have been overseas and trying to relax, so have not been browsing FT.
WLG-DUD is an award tix, return is paid GAS.

I hope not. It'll end up like flying Jetstar and being bashed into by all the clowns struggling with enormous cabin bags as they walk past trying to save a few dollars by not checking any bags.

The gist of it, is SAS making the suggestion that low-cost carriers (they mention Ryanair and Norwegian) have got consumers so heavily into the mindset of cramming as much into their carry-on a possible, that they carry that same mentality over to "bag-included" services, leading to a marked increase in carry-on volume as well as boarding struggle in recent years.
Makes sense, and it's definitely something I've noticed.

seems to be random for me as well
flight this week akl-wlg seat + bag
flights follwoing weeks akl-chc and akl-napier are economy
i hope in the future i am not going to penalised with extra charges for flying for 2 checked in bags which is quite common on my business related flights
another great example of loack of communication by AirNZ

Was searching for info on the website and come across this 
http://www.airnewzealand.co.nz/low-domestic-fares
Edit: seems the page has been pulled now
When we heard what other airlines are charging for baggage on domestic flights we thought "no way". We know that most of our customers actually prefer to take a checked bag when travelling around New Zealand. So you can count on the fact that no matter what domestic fare you buy with Air New Zealand, you won't ever pay for your first piece of checked luggage up to 23 kg - not at the time of booking and not on the day you travel.
