Koru terms and conditions apply.
¹If your Journey is with Air New Zealand or an Air New Zealand flight number and ticketed booking on a Qualifying Partner Airline Flight, and earns Status Points, it will count towards your Status Points Bonus.
Koru Gold rewards your loyalty with comfort, priority and recognition. With Koru Gold, each journey feels more seamless and considered from start to finish.
Enjoy quicker bag drop and a smoother start to your journey by using Premium Check-in where available when travelling with Air New Zealand and some of our partner airlines.
If you're flying domestically in New Zealand with carry-on luggage only, you can check in directly at our Koru Lounges in Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch, Dunedin and Queenstown airports.
Be among the first to board with Priority Boarding. Settle in, find a space for your carry-on and get comfortable before departure.
Enjoy seamless travel by collecting your check-in bag from right beside the aircraft when you fly on regional domestic flights.
Be among the first to collect your bags and get to your destination sooner with Priority Baggage.
Koru Gold includes two Recognition Upgrades. This gives you the opportunity to request an upgrade to the next cabin class so you can enjoy a more premium flying experience, at no extra cost.
Recognition Upgrade requests cannot be combined with OneUp offers.
If you're just short of retaining Koru Gold, we'll gift you up to 30 Status Points so you can keep your status and enjoy your Koru Gold benefits for another year.
Only available to use once every three years.
Celebrate your progress with Status Rewards. As you reach key Status Points milestones, you'll unlock Status Rewards. This reward recognises your loyalty, even as you stay within Koru Gold. A little thank you from us for going further.
Koru Gold includes access to Frequent Flyer Seating, usually located towards the front of the Economy cabin.
You'll also get complimentary access to Exit Row and preferred seats within 48 hours of departure, subject to availability.
Take the stress out of packing your carry-on with an Additional Carry-on Bag.
Your carry-on can be a combined total weight of 14kg, with a maximum weight of 10kg for one bag.
Indulge in some extra shopping knowing you can check in an extra bag at no additional cost.
Airfare must already include a checked bag. Maximum weight 23kg.
OneUp is a little like an auction where you bid what you're willing to pay for an upgrade to the next cabin class, or Economy Skycouch. With Koru Gold, your offer is given an extra 30% weighting, improving your chances.
You can pay with either Airpoints™ or cash, and you pay the amount offered per passenger. You will only get charged if your bid is successful.
As a way of recognising your loyalty and not just how far you fly, but how often, you'll earn 15 bonus Status Points every time you complete 10 qualifying journeys.¹
Enjoy Star Alliance Gold Status, the highest level of recognition for Star Alliance. This includes access to lounges, extra baggage, gold track for faster security along with a range of other benefits.
