Yeah thats a pain in the proverbial. I booked a Seat only fare then realised I actually needed to pick up some stuff from storage in WLG and take it to AKL but wasn't able to just pay the extra $10 and get a bag. So now will have to pay god knows what for the 2x bags I'll need to check in.
Got to gate with bulky sports bag with FastBag label on it. No query at gate but then again also no FB trolley as the winds were too strong so hostess sorted it out the back for me.

The point of my post was to highlight the inconsistency between TT and Domestic S2S implementations - TT allow product upgrade, Domestic does not.
Why could they not be similar (or even identical) to deliver a coherent implementation of the (apparent) S2S logic?

It would have been a nice HVC benefit if the matrix had simply stated, as it does with seat allocation, Koru, *G, GE enjoy Fastbag on Seat only. Then punters could see a declared benefit of being loyal to AirNZ.

In the TT market, their partner DJ has always allowed you to upgrade after the initial purchase.
In the Domestic market, I think JQ baggage allowance is cheapest if bought at the same time as the ticket, but expensive later (and a rip-off at the airport). Though i've never flown JQ with bags, so not totally sure.

I purchased a grabaseat seat only OW journey ZQN-PMR (via CHC) via hot.co.nz and want to add a bag. When I go to myairnz it confirms it as a journey and states that I'll only accrue 12SP, but when I go to change the fare type to grabaseat + bag, it is trying to charge me $10 to upgrade for both flights of the journey ($10 ZQN-CHC & $10 CHC-PMR = $20 total). Surely this is an error??
