Hi there --

Looking to possibly book family of four from YVR to AKL using Aeroplan miles, and for obvious reasons would prefer the nonstop Air New Zealand flight out of Vancouver. When I search Aeroplan for options, they want to route me YVR -> SYD -> AKL, or YVR -> SFO -> AKL.

Why wouldn't the nonstop ANZ YVR -> AKL flight show up on the aeroplan website when I know the flight is available for the timeframe I'm wishing to travel, AND there are PLENTY of seats available on the flight? Do I have to call in to Aeroplan and have someone manually search for my desired flights?

thanks in advance

Jeff
