Hi there
I have been checking regularly the availability and pricing of an Air New Zealand flight Perth to Los Angelas (with the stopover in Auckland).
My dates I key in are always 15 April 2015 and returning 19 May 2015, travelling Prem Econ on the two flights and for three adults.
Originally I was getting good pricing and flight information - why haven't I booked yet you may ask.. just waiting on hubby's holidays being approved before I purchase the tickets.
So yesterday I pop onto the Air NZ website and now I have an issue getting information for the above dates, tried again last night and also this morning, and all times getting strange info. Screen pops up to say no availability on any week day flight, and only flights on Saturday, and that includes a stopover at the Cook Islands and that shows only economy available for the Perth leg, and prem econ kicking in on the longer LA flight.
However, if I change my flight details to Perth to San Francisco and return - same dates, I get the choice of two flights - and you guess it they have a flight from Perth to Auckland, with stopover, and then a flight Auckland to Los Angelas (all Air NZ) and then either a direct flight on ANZ or United Los Angelas to San Fran) - with prem econ available for all legs (bar the LA to SFO leg).
Why would this be happening? If the flights are leaving Perth to Auckland and then to LA for a San Francisco trip, why are the options not available for Perth to Auckland to LA?
If I try for individual flights - I can get a Prem Econ Perth to Auckland on the 15th April and I can also get Prem Econ flights Auk to LA (on 16th). But this works out to be more expensive than booking the flights together.
I'm hoping it's just a quirk in the system at the moment. Just wondering if anyone knows the reason for this.. or if they have had issues too?
Thanking you in advance.
