Thanks Best to try one of the many indirect carriers for a J class deal. |
The only discounted J fares have seen have been those on NZ's own website...

But why would NZ sell a discounted J fare in the first place ? After all, its J product is very good and it holds a route monopoly.
Best to try one of the many indirect carriers for a J class deal. They may have a monopoly on direct flights AKL-LHR-AKL, but they certainly don't have a monopoly on 1-stop routes. It's debatable as to whether the direct option offers any significant advantage in this case. In any case, yes, NZ's BP is very good. :) |

AirNZ are the indirect option ex. Australia.

Now that I am GE the ug will/should clear straight away. |

I do the same: PE plus upgrades.
Just be aware that as an NZ frequent flyer your points / status return for cash is usually better buying a Business Class ticket from bestflights.com.au on a different Star Alliance carrier. The best current fares INCLUSIVE of all taxes are: Air China = $5579 Thai to BKK, then SAS to Europe = $5799. Thai to BKK, then Swiss to Europe = $5639. An Air NZ Premium Economy ticket will earn 330 Status Points and 310 Airpoints. The Asian Business Class options earn 630 Status Points and 530 Airpoints. I typically pay around $5400 for Premium Economy on Air NZ to LHR - it makes sense only if I want a stopover at LAX. |

Since I have family in LA I really prefer flying LAX then onwards to LHR to see friends in the UK and France. Plus, I really enjoy the daylight flight from LHR LAX in NZ. I usually stay a night in LA near the Airport, then home the next day. Cheers |
