Air NZ - New Business Premier

[gumpy]

Hey Everyone,

I'm heading to the states this April and have decided to go Air NZ because of better flight times. I prefer night flights...

On their side they mention that from April some of their 777's will have the new seats in them, does anyone know which if all the Akd to LAX will get the new seat? if not does anyone know which day they will fly the new seats?

thanks in advance...

ISTR NZ1/2 being first on the list......


Edit: Found it

The first routes to guarantee travellers the next generation of long-haul travel will be on dedicated return services on NZ1 and NZ2 between Auckland and Los Angeles and through to London from April 2011.

When you are making the booking switch between J and Economy as there is a graphic which appears with the new PE fare. I hope this makes sense.

Other than those good tips; look for 773 or 77W as the equipment type. The other 777's are designated 772.

I'm booked to fly on this configuration next Wednesday to LAX in BP (and back on Saturday in PE).

Here's the new configuration: http://www.airnewzealand.co.nz/seat-map-boeing-777-300

Part of me wishes that AirNZ were allowed to fly Domestically in Australia and I had access to a credit card that earns Airpoints. I find their service much better then QF sometimes.

I thought they were allowed to?

I'd say the Media would beat them to death with Ansett if they tried.

The Open Skies Agreement also formalized the 1996 Single Aviation Market arrangements which allowed all Australian and New Zealand owned airlines to operate trans-Tasman services and domestic services in either country, subject to the necessary safety approvals.

I'd say Qantas would start putting its A380s domestically to kill them off if they did that.

I agree with this...
