That may explain the extreme reluctance of american passengers to check any bags?

Actually for this family's case there are several returns, but while they are relocating to NZ for an indeterminate length of time, they'll also be travelling between NZ and California several times a year. They won't have much baggage NZ->US but they will have heaps each time they fly US->NZ (by way of AU it looks like now).

Yep. So much for Air NZ being part of a "seamless" Star Alliance experience.

Actually it is a good thing that some things vary by airline within the alliance. I for one would not want to have to pay for Koru Club access, and even then pay still more for drinks. Just one example.

Now be honest Kiwi Flyer, can you actually remember "paying" for Koru Club membership?
