Talkiet:rayonline: The abvoe the $400 CC or the Priority Pass thingy that can be bought. But only AKL have it in NZ, cannot use Koru AirNZ lounges.
If you are flying Star Alliance not sure if that Cathay codeshare or whatever counts thou. You can go with Aegean Airlines and get Star Gold but that needs 2x return Asia trips equiv per 12 months to earn it. So you won't be getting lounges until you done those flights first. Or Asiana which does in 2yr - 3x return to Asia I think or almost 1x to EU I think.
Have they really not tightened that loophole? When I last looked into crediting the AirNZ flights to Aegean it seemed they had gutted the benefits of doing it.

I dunno. I haven't checked lately. Re: if AirNZ gutted it well that's AirNZ :-) they do dictate which fares gets miles accrued and by how much, haha. I don't normally go to EU hence ..
Still 16,000Miles to get Gold
