What time to buy NZ tix for 2024 US spend
UA CC holder looking to buy a couple NZ domestic tickets but need to be 2024 transactions for PQP.
Can I buy now (7 am NZDT 1 Jan)? Or should I wait until US midnight? Which US midnight (EST or HST)?

Probably avoid F class economy fares which earn little-> zero.
Finally, note that for each fare class/price point that there are incremental ‘products’: Seat (no free bag for *G), Seat+Bag, FlexiChange and FlexiRefund. There is a NZD 20 price difference between increments within the same fare class.
