Can I ask , where you found this information on the compensation ? I am on this plane , and not really looking forward to it, either is my partner who had to fly them to Sydney earlier in the year. When I spoke to Air NZ yesterday, they said refund or put up with the plane , which was a real shame. I am flying only on a Seat + bag, so maybe they are giving the vouchers to people who paid for the works ?
If I had paid for the works, I would be changing to Hawaiian Airlines , as they still have return for $750 , 2 weeks out from flying.

I'm actually quite looking forward to my Hi Fly flight - I've saved $80 per pax per flight by buying Seat when I would normally buy Works, and am now essentially getting cashback of $40 per pax per flight with the duty free voucher. The A343 configuration also means a good shot at a windowside pair with no one next to us rather than having a middle and aisle in the centre 789 section which we would otherwise have to choose (my wife likes an aisle).
It seems I'm very much in the minority on the Hi Fly vs NZ issue though!

NZ's policy for accommodation (if booked via NZ) is pretty harsh, if they have caused you to require an extra nights accomodation.
Please contact Expedia on 0800 441 951 to confirm the earliest check in time, or to book an additional nights' accommodation if required. Please note the rate charged for the additional night will be at current pricing, and not that of when you originally booked.

If your rescheduled flight has you arriving early
If schedule changes mean you will be arriving early, there will be instances where you require an additional night's accommodation.Please contact Expedia on 0800 441 951 to confirm the earliest check in time, or to book an additional nights' accommodation if required.

Perhaps I missed it in this very long thread but the FAA has reduced ETOPS to 60 minutes for planes with the affected engines.
Along with Hi-Fly, they are moving the 777s around too.
International Schedule changes through October are posted here.

So far, transatlantic is unchanged. I'll be watching this closely as NZ5 and NZ6 are now 777-300s around the time of my next transatlantic trip.

Here is a link to ETOPS 60 ...

It is highly unlikely that NZ would be replacing 777-300s on NZ1/2 due to this issue.

I mean Trans Atlantic.
NZ are changing NZ 5/6 on some dates from 772 to 773.
With 7 777-300s there should be enough to cover NZ1 and NZ2. Things happen, so I'm going to watch my flights carefully.

It appears to be from SriLankan Airlines who the aircraft spend most of its life (2003-2016).
