The first 2 posts have been updated for the Air NZ website revamp. I've left a note as to where I've checked to - above the note should be fine and below the note may be okay (many links didnt change) or may not.
As posted in the news thread, there are changes to A320 trans-tasman (and presumably south pacific) service - no business class and new premium economy (note differs from long-haul premium economy).
When I get some more time I'll update the relevant posts in this thread.
Just a short note that so called confirmed upgrades are reliant on fare bucket /Z/ being available. So I guess there will not be many confirmed upgrades on NZ1/2 or many other routes
Pretty crappy rule that one, given (1) the cost difference of confirmed upgrades, and the number of people who will pay extra for YBMHU class and then not get the upgrade, until checkin.
NZ has introduced new functions for manage your bookings and OLCI. In both cases conditions apply - seems to only work for bookings made on NZ website at this stage. I'll update the relevant post when I get a chance to.
Programs: UA 1P-MM, Marriott Silver (and falling fast)

I didn't see any reference to which booking classes apply to the Premium Economy section. It's U, E, and O (in order of descending price). Not sure on miles earning on the O class ticket - maybe others (paging Kiwi Flyer) can determine miles earning on this fare.
Programs: NZ*G, QF SG, UA 1P, PC Platinum RA, HHonors Blue, SPG Gold

They all earn Airpoints at the Premium Economy rate. I don't know about partner FFPs.
I flew AKL-LAX-AKL in 'O' class, 105 A$ each way, due to it being a partner itinerary.
If only Smart Saver fares earned A$ though -- I'm currently doing WLG-MEL-WLG regularly, and since Smart Savers are always available, our corporate travel system forces me to buy them.... atleast I'm not on QF, I guess...
A couple of links and changes updated. I haven't done a complete review to ensure that all the above info and links are correct - will do so when I get some more time.

Now that Global Saver Max fares earn airpoints (for those itineraries booked from December 6th) perhaps this will follow
to NZ for this! Let's hope that they follow through with Tasman Smart Saver and Domestic Smart Saver fares accruing airpoints also.
