Fair point - although think likely to a middle ground.
but don’t agree confined to Auckland at peak-hour - similar problems in Wellington, Christchurch, Hawkes Bay regularly and I’ve encountered at others - but haven’t visited often enough to know if a regular thing or just bad luck on the day!!

lol its definitely not children filling up the lounge. And as they don't exactly go to town on the "free" booze, I suspect any seats they do occupy NZ will be happy to welcome them. I can't imagine it would be the best PR move for them either given most of their more frequent flyers are likely to have children themselves.

I haven't been to Hawkes Bay. I have flown out of Christchurch countless times. Again it can get cozy during the absolute peak times but I've never had problems getting seats. It just means you don't get your first pick of seats.
Wellington is being refurbished with more seats so I don't think we can say anything on that yet 😉

I think airnz would have released more J award space because their bookings are light to the US. Also maybe it is in response to QF appearing to be releasing more premium award space from SYD/MEL/BNE to the US. Fiji airways also seem to be releasing more premium cabin space to the US than they used to, as well. I don’t really think the price in points to get one of those J award spaces via UA is exactly cheap. You might as well just buy a PE seat with NZ when on special and use RU or upgrades.
