And we mustn't forget that for every $29/$39 fare in one direction, NZ may reap a $100+ fare in return.

It wasn't that long ago that the lead-in fare AKL-WLG and vv was $49. That included 1 bag. Like may others here, I remain sceptical that this is a true loss leader fare as stated by Rob Fyfe, and which should result in removal of KC access any who may have otherwise had access (*G, KC etc). Disingenuous.

And the removal of KC access for standby fares is also sneaky.....
