Is anyone else finding NZ is playing with the Tasman flights for later on this year? and the bookings changes have been locked out online for weeks at time?

This has happened to me a number of time before. I believe that on most occasions you can just ring and ask what is the changes to the itinerary and they should unlock it for you if you are happy to accept. It's usually 5 minutes or so, in my experience.

Getting through to NZ lately seems to take more like 15minutes, then they want to transfer you to somebody else :(

Its like they are currently moving the flights around, to prepare to ditch VA?

Looking at booking to SYD from CHC in December and the earn is AP$1 for a seat and bag. I can see why they moved to offering $ and cents earn - future-proofing the earning rates to .50c.

Meanwhile I get 50 SP and APD $24 this weekend on a $412 return to CBR on SQ.

It seems like November/December is an time to avoid flying NZ on the Tasman? yet another flight change.

That's what I always said. It doesn't seem so bad though once I got here. :p

SQ plane was so dated it felt like it was 1999 but the airport here is great.

But you do get to avoid those AM lines in SYD :D

No queues at CBR. Wait for manual processing (no smartgates) took about 5 mins. Out of the airport with bag in 10.

sounds great, but these are honored by SQ so SQ pays NZ for that?

Those SP don't count as the 'air nz and partner airlines' do they?
They fit into the same category as CC earn or other * alliance?

still a good TT deal tho..
