Is there somewhere on site where can view all the credit, amounts and expiry dates?

Or do we need to keep track of that ourselves?

jeffrocowboy

perhaps still potentially legally changeable if the contract is not fair and breaches consumer etc laws - but a legal eagle would have better comment than me

wasn't it previously fairly easy to get refunds for inconvenient schedule changes? Or am I thinking US airlines?

Just cancelled a flight over Easter to Melboure through the app. Cancel option under Manage booking.

They will hold the expenses as credit till March 4 2021.

Super easy rather than calling and waiting 60 minutes+ to talk to someone.

That sounds like a good functionality but same as a couple of others it isn't available for my flights "this booking is unable to be cancelled online, please call 0800 737000..." which we have not done knowing they will be dealing with punters with more pressing needs. I guess we will wait for the call.

We arranged by email with the gold elite email address. The initial position was credit only so we politely pointed out that under the consumer guarantee act we were entitled to a refund as they had cancelled the flight for commercial reasons. They came back and agreed and said the policy had changed so may not have flowed through to an app update yet.

We were at all times polite reasonable non threatening and said we were sorry for the situation they were in. I think if you are happy with a credit fine. It didn’t work for us so we asked for a refund.

I think patience and politeness are key. In passing another hats off extending elite and other tiers another 12 month they are doing a great job in horrible circumstances.

April 2020, AKL-NRT-AKL

Booked Sydney-Auckland - Kerikeri on 1/2 departing 29/3, return 3/4.
Obviously I didn’t want to get caught up in 14 day isolation situation each end, so have decided not to fly.
But only being offered a credit by Air NZ it seems.
A bit unfair I think.
And I have to call, can’t cancel via the app.
Maybe try at 3 am!

Have the flights been cancelled by AirNZ?
Or do you just wish not to travel? If you don't wish to travel and the flights are not cancelled giving you a credit is what you get.

​​​​​​I have two PE tickets Akl to Lhr (NZ2 and NZ1 all the way ) return with pending upgrades to BP. All during the school holiday in July.
i do wish to travel but I wanted to
1: fly that route as it's the quickest
2: most airpoints
3: most SP
4: use my RU upgrades (which would expire if returned)
5: uses the old price 480 airpoints per sector
I suspect if I am offered another route or a credit I would lose the above benefits
Would I be in my rights to ask for a full refund ?

Have flights booked AKL to LHR for October. Route suspened til 30 June, never know may resume. After 30 June so guess normal cancelation rules apply. Will fly if it has started up by then.

I'm in the same boat so AKL-LHR in September booked in PE and upgrades confirmed to J. If they endorse me over to another airline in J I'll be super happy. But otherwise I'll just take a refund of the fare with the RU's and APD's returned and book something else closer to the time
