Award space AKL-NAN?
I've searched nearly a year out and cannot find award space from AKL-NAN in either Y/J.
I know Air New Zealand award space is hard to find (if ever) on long haul... Is this the same case for this route?
Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Airpoints members virtually never search for *A award bookings on NZ, because the scheme's currency (Airpoints dollars) are exactly worth $1 each, and are usable at that rate to buy any ticket. Earning rates are poor on flights, but all flights are open to awards in Airpoints dollars until the flight is sold out.
Around half of flights on this route have no J class, being Airbus A320s (which are single class on NZ). Having said that, it is likely only a handful of seats are available as *A rewards, with Y and J more likely on 777 operated services.
