I had pieced together a nice trip last night, after Aeroplan was closed. This morning, my domestic NZ flight AKL-ZQN (and the other slightly worse timed one) is now X0.
How is NZ at opening domestic Y space?
I only have two full stops I want, but since ZQN isn't the POT (that would be SIN), I don't think I can turn this into an open jaw to make it work.
I suppose I could make some other NZ city my stopover and position myself, but we're looking at 3-6 hour drives or several hundred in round-trip Y fares to make it happen. All because Aeroplan closed at 9pm PDT
Edit: NZ space came back, but it's phantom. Aeroplan agent is being great, but no joy with getting this done.
So question remains the same: Does NZ open space on domestic routes closer to departure?
