Has anyone noticed Air NZ flights are not showing on Bus Flyer yet they advertise them all over the Bus Flyer portal and advise you to book them through the portal, how, by waving a magic wand?
Trying to book Auckland and it's impossible.
To add salt to the wound, called Bus Flyer support and I was advised to call Air NZ directly to book.
That won't work for FF benefits.
So amateur.

Huh?

They appear on the consumer website before that.
Eg Melbourne to Auckland May 16 to 19 appears, I can even select this weekend on the consumer website to Auckland.

Also, from the media release "From today, under the new codeshare agreement between the two trans-Tasman carriers, travellers can directly book Virgin Australia flights operated by Air New Zealand with a VA flight number into Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch for travel from 9 December 2024 onwards. These flights are in addition to Virgin Australia's existing services to Queenstown."

That's what I would expect to see. I've emailed them to look into it. Thanks

Other than flying (nothing planned nor expected), what’s a quick way to earn about 300 points? I have a small points balance that I want to transfer out before they expire.

No that won't work. Wasn't paying attention. Carry on.

Dang. I just realised in the Didi app you can set the VA earn to your personal account OR the VA Biz Flyer account!

I received an email with 5x points promo for VABF account earn and I was scratching my head how that works. But there are instruction on how to switch (which is pretty simple). The app also shows you how many points you've earned towards each program....
