was just chatting with a friend of mine... he may have found something interesting regarding air New Zealand business availability (on their 77W)
he couldn't find any availability on a whole range of dates transpacific... nothing new there... it's always been hard to find. ANA was showing nothing. but then he checked lifemiles... it also showed nothing available in business, but it showed several flights available once you selected the cabin to FIRST.
so I wonder if this is a coding error where 'business premier' is being mapped in some systems as 'O' rather than 'I' class? (and maybe not being shown on ANA because it knows NZ doesn't offer F?)
anyways... just putting it out there for what it's worth. if biz premier is available then it should be available to all star members!
