Really?
I bet those "Seat" only fares are just flying out the door with the army of backpackers going to Bora Bora!
I'm pretty upbeat about these changes. I think that Air NZ will end up quietly reversing them, just like Pacific Express and Nothing To Hide.
Gimmicks are just that. They wear off after a while. Unfortunately, sometimes by that time the HVCs are already nowhere to be seen.
Not sure about that. HVCs will still try to stick with NZ. TN is not really on alliance with anyone. So for people who want to earn points/status credits they will still stick with NZ.
