Baggage Allowance VS/NZ Reward Flight
Hi,
I'm blown some of my VS miles on a trip to the UK (from NZ) but was just short on going business the whole way so had to settle for:
AKL - HKG economy (NZ)
HKG - LHR upper class (VS)
I'm a Koru club member, but unfortunately that doesn't give me increased baggage internationally. What will my baggage allowance be? The 20kg on NZ or 30kg on VS ?
Also, are they likely to check my bags all the way through, or will I have to collect them and re-check them in at HKG?
Thanks

If its all issued on one ticket no need to collect bags at HKG - unless you have an overnight stopover. Make sure the nice NZ ladies at AKL put a tag on the bag right through to LHR.

Thanks for the replies 
I've checked my e-ticket and it just has the standard 'check with carriers' bit in the T&C's.
TBH AirNZ have always been quite generous when we've gone over with luggage. We've never been charged. Just to be on the safe side though, I may pack a carry bag in there so if they get fussy I'll just take out a couple of heavy items and carry them on as hand luggage (I'll only have my hand bag with me as carry on).
