English origins of the cultural background of Pakeha New Zealand, coming out here.
It is rhyming slang, "Porkie Pies" is "lies" shortened even further to "porkies".
And pork pies were a well known British food....you would not know it if you saw them. (non meat eater here)

I guess you mean SYD/RAR ... it was indeed a trial period over the peak winter season with the last flight departing SYD 24 Oct 10.

Just got back from 3 weeks in RAR. Yes, trial has finished, but Tourism are upbeat about the trial in that it was well patronised. They are hopeful it will be repeated in next peak season but it could be a tourism beat-up - they have a new Aussie Head of Tourism.

Does anybody know if NZ is going to offer this again this coming July.
I currently have a *A business reward YYZ-LAX-RAR-AKL-SYD-YYZ. I wouldn't mind getting rid of the overnight connection between RAR-AKL-SYD.
Thanks

I tried that and it only shows flights through AKL.
I also phoned the Canadian 1-800 number and the lady I spoke to said she was not aware of any plans to offer that again.
I currently have NZ45 17:30 - 20:00 (772) and NZ101 7:00am - 8:30am (763) both in Business.
I guess that's that. I will keep an eye out for it although I'm sure once/if announced it may be tought to get a *A business rewards seats (Depending on plane of course)
