Today I notice the ones closer to next year are now 300k. Those seem like pretty massive across the board increases in such a short time looking out to next year. Is there an announcement I missed?
i have been tracking Feb. some days are 200, some are 250. Wednesdays are-always 250, although I was able to get 2/26 at 200 for my wife. The next day the 26 th went to 250. If you are booking 337 days in advance i haveseen this pattern. First three days are 500. On the fourth day they drop to 250. Sometimes on the 5 th day you see 200. I think they probably only allow 2 seats at 200.. Feb 6 is 400 for some reason i need Feb 26 as coming off a cruise. Wont have 200 k until May 15. I might have to fly a different day then my wife. We created a pool with kids so maybe I can get to 250 but who knows what they will want in May .
Sorry. This is Melbourne to Sfo but same things are probably going on. We did get 200 each sfo to Akl on Dec29 but that was gone after we booked.
