Tasman Online Price Guarantee-NZ takes a leaf from JQ

[yohy?!]

Interesting!

If you find a published fare on another airline's official Australian website for a direct flight between Australia and New Zealand that is lower than the lowest comparable fare available from Cheap Flights, Airfares & Holidays - Air*New*Zealand Official Site - Australia Site, tell us and we'll match that fare provided the flight times and service offering are comparable and the following conditions are met.

Offer is valid till end of April 2011

<Edit> I see this has been discussed previously, has anyone done one of these as yet and learnt if they earn miles for the Works fares?

Fare rules are no Airpoint Dollars for any of these fares (including Deluxe) unless you pay an extra couple of $100 each way for "Flexibility". You do earn 30 Status points (900 gives *G).

However there is a promotion currently for Elite, Gold and Koru who book Works(/ Deluxe):

Hi Guys

I have mentioned previously in this forum that we have been looking at how to make the next few months a little more bearable as we work through the reconfiguration piece - I expect it to start on 15th March and take 3 weeks but in the meantime the following letter is on its way out to the 16,800 member G/GE community

I am looking as to how to make this be swapable (not sure that a word) for options such as car grooming at the various ports but will come back to you on that aspect

While each letter will be customised to the member’s membership level, I have made this more generic in the copy below.

The info will be repeated in the January Airpoints Magazine for extra reach and reinforcement – deploying on 12 Jan.

Thought you would be interested

Dear [member]

Recently I wrote to you advising that we are changing the premium seating zones on our A320 aircraft in response to customer feedback. The changes will increase the legroom available in these zones and will more than double the number of seats which are reserved for our Gold Elite, Gold and Koru customers.

I’m pleased to report that we are making good progress on the design changes and necessary regulatory approvals and expect to implement the changes in March and April.

Airpoints Dollars™ and Status Points boost for our premium members

We appreciate your support during this transition period, and to thank you for your on-going loyalty we are delighted to offer you bonus Airpoints Dollars and Status Points when you travel across the Tasman.

From 15 January to 10 April 2011, Gold Elite, Gold and Koru members will earn an additional 30 Airpoints Dollars and 30 Status Points on each one way sector. This benefit will apply when you fly on an Air New Zealand A320 aircraft across the Tasman on a Works or Works Deluxe ticket.

We hope you enjoy this additional reward, please note that it may take up to four weeks for these bonus Airpoints Dollars and Status Points to be reflected on your account.

Yours sincerely


John Whittaker
