Can you request certain Booking Classes via phone?

Might be a silly question. Looking to retain my elite status, but only low status point earning fares seem available for the business class flights I want.

Does anybody know if you ring Air NZ customer service that they might be able to sell you the higher status point earning seat classes?

interesting, I thought choosing the "make your flights flexible" and thus upgrading them from Business Global Saver still has the dummy booking I have at Class D

Ah thank you, I simply never noticed that change of class when selecting this option.

Interestingly, now I am using that option it does not say it will give me extra status points, but when I unselect it, it adds the extra on. Bug in the system.

Yes, they can do.

I work in the industry and some of my clients also request specific booking classes which I can book in Sabre.
0100 and Thai-Kiwi like this.
