Lie flat seats according to SeatGuru, not bad for a 3 hour hop.
If NH960 was cancelled I guess they'd put you on a different flight, and this "plan" might get you the perfect same-day connection but it's a bit of a gamble. ANA has NH960 marked "NQ", maybe meaning non-qualifying so perhaps you won't be able to book it anyway.
thanks for all that. on the phone now with Brendan, very smooth so far. unfortunately he can't see any F on the CA929 flight so went ahead and too the C seats.
I'm getting this for the flights:
Outbound:
9/28: PVG-NRT CA929 business
9/28: NRT-CHC NZ090 business
stopover
10/2: CHC-ZQN NZ5383 economy
18750 pp + 228.8
Inbound:
10/6: ZQN-CHC-AKL NZ636/NZ524 economy
stopover
10/8: AKL-PVG NZ089 business
18750 pp + 253.5
can anyone give an confirm the taxes for the outbound and are the inbound taxes going to be similar?
thanks again!
