I recently flew back to Sydney from LA via AKL on ANZ.
My LA-AKL leg was advertised by Air New Zealand to be operated by a 777-300, however when I arrived at the gate I was surprised to learn that the aircraft that I will be travelling on will in fact be one owned by Eva Air!
I was not informed that this may be a possibility prior to booking my ticket, or even after for that matter.
I booked air New Zealand for the highly regarded premium economy product, instead I’m faced with a product from Eva air which is far less comfortable. There is no leg rests, far less recline, less leg room and no wifi! Had I known any of this I would not have booked this and stuck to my usual airline, Qantas!
ANZ claim that they informed the online TA I used (JetAbroad) about this in May, and that I should raise any concerns I have with them as they should be the ones to have informed me of the change and offered an alternative flight.
The product I travelled on is NOT even comparable to the ANZ PE product and I am really quite frustrated.
Do you think I am entitled to any compensation and from whom?
