Air New Zealand is out

Therefore, even though we are willing to pay more for Air NZ than we would for QF, we will stay with QF. Your policy is a disincentive for us to fly Air NZ.

End rant.
Agreed. I am also based in the US and fly to Oceania from time to time. Air New Zealand currently has a great fare on LAX-RAR, but I will be flying Air Pacific LAX-NAN instead. Air New Zealand's L fare does not allow me to earn ff miles with United or any other Star partner. With Air Pacific's discounted fare I can earn AAdvantage miles. This pretty much sealed the deal for me, even with Air NZ's superior product in economy class.
