I'm really interested to know why Air NZ have now sold seats with virtually unlimited availability (excluding school holidays) for 5 days at this price. Are forward bookings to the US really crashing as a result of Trump? Normally that sort of price has very limited availability and is on sale for a couple of days max aiming at impulse purchasers.

Never before have I seen Air NZ fares so low to LA. I say it's a good thing for consumers. Although, I imagine the US tourist industry is hurting a bit with all of the media fanfare lately.
Is there a way to find Air NZ passenger loadings to confirm if flights to US are really empty to justify these bulk sales?
