NZ123 AKL to MEL 16 Feb - PE to J - bid $200 USD, accepted 10 Feb.
Flight went out with at least 4 empty J seats. Might have bid a bit too high since it cleared so early and there ended up being empty J seats. Nevertheless, my first time on NZ and wanted to try out the odd J config.

Lax akl 3/26
We have 2 premium economy LAX AKL on NX1 3/26. No status; have paid for preferred seats. Bid $725/ea for upgrades to business; have gotten the "declined at this time, check back at 7-8 hrs before flight". Currently looks like 11 seats open in business. Any chance the bid might actually look good?

NZ104 on 777-200 metal SYD-AKL
Y->PE
Star Gold (Air China)
AU$ 100, cleared & accepted 4 days ahead
Noticed new booking in A fare class. Any chance the mileage accrual follows the new fare class if depositing into partner FFP or just in my dreams?

NZ289 AKL-PVG
Y->PE
Star Gold (Air China)
CN￥ 1,830 (approx. NZD 406), cleared & accepted 8 hours ahead of departure.
Not bad for 12 hrs flight I would say. Enjoyed NZ's PE product.

I have usually considered a paid Exit Row to a decent ‘enhancer’ long haul for the cost. Perhaps Exit Row has the best value ‘comfort/$’ as I value increased personal space over food/drink and I don’t absolutely require lie flat bed s I can manage adequate rest (but Ill take a flat seat, of course, in the right circumstances - opup, gifted RU, burn miles).
If I am paying for the flight then the additional thousands for a lie flat seat are better spent in other areas (eg hotel). Others, of course, will have a different ‘value’ calculus.

NZ109 AKL-SYD (777-200)
Y to PE
$NZ135 (no uplift as Airports Jade. Do hold *G with THAI)
Accepted 5 days in advance. Bid too high? EF showing avail in PE of U7/E0/O0/A0.
Original booking class was a sale 'Seat' only return AKL-SYD-AKL for $NZ333 return. The outbound has now been re-booked into 'A'. OneUp bid submitted as I have never sampled NZ's PE product.
