Domestic Economy Classes
I'm flying regional airport to Auckland return this weekend, booked using free ticket from Amex. Booking information is showing Economy class "T". What the hell does this letter mean?! I cannot find a table anywhere which explains them all.
It's on a Q300. Flew one yesterday which was booked through work and I couldn't access it or add it to my Air NZ account at all.. No idea what class or what the fare conditions were, but was put into seat 2A. Looking at the seat map for my upcoming flight it looks like these are reserved for higher priced fares/Gold/Elites? All four row 1 seats were empty and I got the impression the guy next to me had status due to hostess's interactions. I'm just a Jade.

Due to aircraft balance row 1 is normally always blocked out on a Q300. You can often select it at T-48 as it becomes unblocked for a very brief period of time before beinh blocked out again. Row 1 will be used at the airport if needed.

Interesting, I was told by Amex that the free ticket would need S or G availability. Air NZ domestic fare classes from full fare to cheapo discount are, in order: Y B M H Q V W T L S G X K P.

For example
P $49
K $59
X $69
etc, and prices vary by route
This is the Domestic Pricing Grid. http://www.airnzagent.co.nz/assets/a...avelDirect.pdf
For example an AKL-WLG PBAG is $59 (Seat+Bag) or AKL-WLG KBAG $69 (Seat+Bag)
