Checking back in to see if things might have changed...
We booked a return trip from YVR-AKL direct which was to have taken place this past July. Flight was for two in Y, with a SkyCouch add-on each way.
We have ANZ's standing offer for a credit, which albeit getting more flexible than originally issued, isn't as great as cash in hand--anecdotally, are things still pretty firm in that regard--ie: credits are credits and a refund is a pie in the sky dream for us? None of our flights touched the US or EU, so we cannot rely on those laws to help get a refund...we are a little concerned given that we don't imagine NZ will open up for international travel until at least mid 2021 (my random guess)...and perhaps it may be longer before the YVR-AKL route is re-introduced...
