Direct Flights AKL/Perth
Two questions really.
First: is AirNZ the only airline that flies Auckland to Perth direct?
Will be needing to book in a hurry for a funeral but flights in BP looking very difficult in both directions.
Second: How difficult is it to get those seats that are blanked out for 'operational reasons' and often allocated to staff or upgrades 'unblanked' to enable someone to book for urgent, compassionate reasons?
Any help would be much appreciated.
