LOL. I could accept a small additional cost. But when there is no sale fares at all��?

I wouldn't complain too loudly. Air NZ might notice that they give you more SPs for a flight you don't pay for, than we provincial folks get for a flight we do pay for 😀

I still think this is largely the bug in their system that they managed to fix for me once that then seemed to return again.

I honestly think the revenue management team is just incompetent.

Lots of newbies in the revenue management area. Many engineering science grads end up there.

Air New Zealand NY sale inbound 12am tonight (I think).

The EU/UK/USA/JP websites are all live. No idea why we have it later than everybody else...

sale is out

Some insanely cheap Y fares to LA... I've never seen these before!

Sorry was not keen to open a new thread and couldn�t find any recent threads relevant to Skycouch costs.

for Skycouch are you essentially paying for the 1-2 seats at a similar rate to a passenger rate??

I just saw sale fares to Bali for approx $600 o/w and Skycouch was offered for around $1200 for a solo or $600 for 2 pax

NZ reminding me today why I dislike dealing with them.
Booked AKL-YVR-AKL-TUO Business Class last week for my mother, booked on NZ's website.
Went to cancel it today as she wants to change dates and with the sale, net savings are ~$1,000. Ended up doing a credit voucher for $0 fee

Cannot cancel online, cancel button is inop.
Called in, 1 hour 10 min wait time.
Oscar is useless until a human arrives

It's not just revenue management though. Heard one of the execs got caught out lying to some tourism people and they got called out on it and people felt embarrassed for Air NZ. This was just post covid for the recovery. I'm honestly not expecting the company to turn around. At this point in time, my expectation is that it will continue it's downward trajectory.

Whatever you job you're in, seniors need to oversee juniors. So that's a management issue as far as I'm concerned. Training people properly, check their work etc. Problems should be shared so others don't make the same mistake.

I haaaaaaate Oscar! I'm never calling or enquiring about simple stuff. On social media (Twitter, Messenger) I just type in "talk to a human" and I get an agent. Tell them to refer to the question above I've already typed in with details.

Essentially yes and without taxes I think. QF sell extra seats without the taxes although I've never used it myself. Different from neighbour free seating. Skycouch prices go up accordingly with the other seats for sale.

Air NZ always have their New Years sale a week or so after January 1st just FYI. I have been tracking this for awhile, I always take advantage of it to book trips, it's the most consistent sale of the year. The other sales, you never know when they'll happen, but this one is extremely consistent.

Bit bummed - Looks like Air NZ made a mistake and loaded both A and J class to Sydney for the Schold Holidays in early July last night / morning when I checked at 1am, but come 9am, all have been removed. It made an easy trip as it was only $50 more then economy. I see lots of online travel agents are still showing this price, but I don't want to cancel my flight due to the double status points.

Likely someone else bought those seats before you, so they disappeared.

Very true - but the whole two weeks was removed, both Business and PE at the special pricing, so unlikely every seat was sold in a few hours - unless a travel agent purchased them all.
