• JFK-AKL problem for Air NZ

    Originally Posted by Sibelius Part of the problem seems to be that Air NZ simply has too many seats on its 787s for such a long-haul flight. I think their 787s have close to 300 seats (compare with Qantas’ 787s which have 236 seats and which therefore take off lighter and have extra range)....

    BNE-ADL-PER-BNE (J) a couple of weeks ago. Absolutely dreadful. 6am start at PER with almost nothing available in the lounge then disgraceful offering onboard. Even the "snacks" were cheap and not very cheerful. Anything will be an improvement.

  • VA status for AirNZ Elite?

    FYI I checked with VA about lounge access in WLG or AKL for international flights in December and there was no answer available. Perhaps they will resort to a $20 voucher LOL.

  • I am not sure why the (airline) focus on time of leaving. Lots of people are connecting from "elsewhere" so the local time in SIN of HKG is irrelevant. Perhaps the best way forward is to extend Online preordering to allow people to "opt out" and get some sleep whilst others can be in whatever ...

  • I tried finding a Business Class seat to LAX from BNE for the middle of next year. I searched EVERY SINGKE day from 1 February until 11 July (2019) the last day they have on sale.

  • You could scarcely call one flight a reliable sample for data. I reckon the bags come out early about 85-90% of the time when they have a prioroty tag. Often if the term PRIORITY is merely printed on the baggage tag it doesnt apply. The exception to this is domestic travel in the where mostly th...
