It's not typical of NZ. A lot of carriers say that your seats are confirmed subject to operational requirements.
I had to make a last minute booking last week NYC-FRA in SQ J and the agent said to me that 18K was confirmed subject to operational requirements. I've also had the same with QF/LH/LX/UA/AA/BA/CX/MH/TG etc. etc.
