akl seems tougher.
According to my last phone call (two weeks ago), *Net is now blocking NZ001/NZ002 so you'll never be able to book those lovely LAX-LHR and vv flights...
Given the topic of this thread, is it now okay to complain about the lack of routing via SIN/BKK given that there is never any availability on the more direct LAX-AKL or LAX-SYD (or SFO- or YVR-)?
Sorry to all - I feel your pain. Time to credit miles to another *A program... or perhaps band together and petition UA for some relief...
