Unfortunately it looks like NRT has been downgraded to 767

Does PVG also gets from time to time the 767 or is it only NRT and KIX?
I have other bookings in mind to NRT and would therefore opt to reroute AKL-PVG-NRT, in case that PVG is safe to have 772 flying.

I guess the NZ 767-300ER does not have the range to make PVG non-stop.

This seems to be the case until the end of October and then back to 777 after that (for now). Hopefully my mid-Nov flight will remain 777 as I think the Japan-New Zealand tourist market starts to pick up at that time of year? Really hope so!

Really?
I bet those "Seat" only fares are just flying out the door with the army of backpackers going to Bora Bora!
I'm pretty upbeat about these changes. I think that Air NZ will end up quietly reversing them, just like Pacific Express and Nothing To Hide.
Gimmicks are just that. They wear off after a while. Unfortunately, sometimes by that time the HVCs are already nowhere to be seen.
