Flying Air NZ for the first time on this aircraft from IAH-AKL in j in early Feb, right now it shows the upgrade from reg J to the former CX 1st as 790 nzd, all seats still available. Should I expect this price to come down closer to the flight?

Ah, that makes sense. I was hoping perhaps there would be a cheaper price at check in or something due to seeing cheaper prices for the upgrade to business preferred on the press release about the dry lease.

I have IAH-AKL booked for November and 1D is not available, which in prior posts has been noted as broken, maybe ANZ has decided not to fix, unless somebody already booked it, but 1K is available and has also been noted as broken.

Sorry, I should have added more context and replied to the correct person. I understand that its a preferred seat selection. I'm currently booked in Business Class IAH - AKL in October. The preferred seat selection fee is showing me a price of $780. Anytime I see discussion around this fee, I see people noting that its less than $500, so I was curious what that other poster's fee was for his November flight.

Thank you. I am US based and I've seen others say that the price that is being shown for the fee is NZD, but everything I see as I go through the checkout process indicates USD. So for my date of travel its NZ$1258!

My ticketing was from NZ - so that was my return leg - so I cannot comment how its being priced if US ticketed sorry - just noticed it was jumping around a fair bit - I did not actually buy the 'preferred' seat any any point.
