I've tried ringing through to the call centre to do this. It recognises I've got Elite status. Just get put on hold with horrendous music playing in the background that's so bad and the wait so long that I have to hang up to get rid of the music. I've tried facebook messaging air nz, with the details it then comes up with a chat bot message that the message is too long. Can someone tell me what the best way/time to contact them. I do whatsapp but I don't do twitter. TIA
I noticed you said you are elite. Despite the very long queues on the phone at the moment you can email [email protected] - you will get an auto reply saying 10-15 business days for a response though I've noticed they're actually replying in about 30 minutes.
