Thankyou ever so much.

Thats fantastic http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

Is the 767-300 the same as the 767-300/ER? I'll be on NZ 71 and 70 in the next Thurday and the Friday after that on business class. I've decided to use my upgrade (Jade http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif) because checking itn.net , there is no one booked on J that day and 4 seats booked on the return. So can anyone tell me whats the best seat on these flights please. Or I can chose any seat because it is the same?? Plus the J class is pretty empty. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/redface.gif
Cheers in advance.

Best J seats are rows 2 or 3 (row 1 is bulkhead with less legroom - or perhaps just perception? - and risk of babies being closer; row 4 is last row with less recline).

Row 2 is closer to front, so tends to get served first, but also closer to those potential babies... but not much in it really. If you're an aisle seat person, go for E or F, as your seat mate (if you have one) also has an aisle so no need to climb over you.

Enjoy those flights in J!

You are one of the 2 that is booked and has a seat reserved! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/biggrin.gif on the return leg. OMG this is a small world http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/redface.gif

Will they not upgrade me if I am the only Pax on J? The bast*ds has took my points already but my TA told me that I will not know until just before I board http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/frown.gif I think because I am lowly Jade with no Koru Club... Anyone got comments?

Wongo, when Jade members are requesting an upgrade, it is always subject to seat availability at checkin - as per your member's handbook.

Obviously, if J is nearly empty, then you have nothing to worry about.

Cheers, I was worried that AirNZ will do a cheapy and not open business class 4 my upgrade because my fares was.... $800 NZD b4 tax. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/biggrin.gif (and I am the only one), then again... there could be few other Jades on that flight too http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/redface.gif.... hmmm, I am starting to like my boss's TA, she did a dam good job on getting that flight and fare for me http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/biggrin.gif

Wow

All these Kiwi Flyertalkers, were really building up, its fantastic http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

I was thinking of putting together a little dinner somewhere, similar to what they do in the states.

Fantastic to finally get to know you all a little better.

Best wishes

Dave

Read the QF forum from time to time, they do have FT meetings in QC in Oz. now thats good, if we have 10-20 of us, we can call ourself a lobby group. Got comments?

19AB/JK is much better than 18 AB/JK. Same wing exits, but better legroom.

I can second 10AB, 19AB and 19JK for Y class. Row 18 exit row seat-pairs are right behind the toilet bulkhead have limited legroom and people going to the Y toilets do hang around there. Last time I was on ZK-NCL in J class 4 weeks ago, row 4 did not appear to have a restricted recline, but in full recline, you may have problems also in pushing the head rest all the way up.

The best Y seats are definitely 19AB JK. Next best would be 18AB JK - but be wary, as some of the newer 767-300 have permanent seat recline lockouts fitted at 18AB JK. As for business class, 3AB would be the best - not too close the bassinets (forward to C bassinet, behind to Y bassinet) and C class service starts at 4AB.

My TA booked me 19J both ways if I did not get my upgrades. She is good!
