AKL-SFO and SFO-PHL.
I'm crossing my fingers that Z9/ZN9 less than a month out is a good sign. The seating chart shows 15 unclaimed business seats today, although it was 16 for my original post.
The domestic segment is up to J4/JN4 with 5 seats showing, but I'm more pessimistic there.
I have alerts set on ExpertFlyer in case it doesn't happen automatically, so I'm guessing that's all I can do until checkin.
