sorry to ask here - please move accordingly
I am looking at a work trip to the States, NZ website found the right flights but the travel engine at corporate only give a UA ticket
question, I cannot request for any upgrade using oneup, APD or recognition if booked on UA ticket?
thanks

Pretty much 100% success rate on NZ 101 AKL - SYD and NZ108 SYD - AKL on my 2 return trips per week since May.
$100-$115 (poor) with Elite uplift. Economy to PE

APD balance pretty low due to USA APD upgrades pending for September October November
Company policy is I get to use APD personally but get to travel PE for work TT. It’s cheaper to book economy and chuck in $100 ish oneup than it is to pay real $ for PE.

did you walk back to PE to see if it was full? I know CX do heaps of ops up for their top tier pax but for the past 8 years as Elite, it only happened once without me putting in a request

I've been told it's not uncommon that the only 2 upgrades to BP are the lucky pax who managed to score the R class.

I think that's the difference with Air NZ. Their cabins particularly to North America are so full with paying pax that there is no space for comped op upgrades.

that I understand having to return from LAX a few weeks ago and without my RU cleared.
if that’s the case NZ should look at the number of J seats it should configure on its 77Ws. Look at how many CX has on the same plane
for me, my major route is HKG, and even so, I never got op up....
I would really appreciate this perk.

Missed out on a PE to BP Elite APD upgrade on NZ5 this evening. Both 1 and 5 chokka incl my understanding of some pax from SFO since NZ8 has been cancelled two nights in a row.
I'd need to check my stats but I've probably had pretty close to 25 flights in a row without an upgrade failing so it had to come to and end eventually. 😭

Did you pay for PE or did at least one of the APD upgrade sector clear?
And this is the OneUp bids thread, not the APD/RU thread.
