Can't make a seat allocation/request MEL-AKL 18 NOV NZ123
 

For reasons unexplained, I cannot make a seat allocation for my flight MEL-AKL NZ124 on 18 Nov. Call centre said they would put in a request, but I also note that ExpertFlyer is also unable to pull-down the current seatmap. Aircraft is B744. I successfully have seat 29C allocated for AKL-MEL on NZ 123 (same day return ;))

I wonder if this is a transition problem with the Seat/Seat+B/ etc fate structure TT?

Did you book thru NZ's site or somewhere else...On occasions when I have booked on expedia, I havn't been able to select seats.

FYI the specific error message we get if we try to get the seat map on the GDS terminal is: "ADV SEATING NOT AVAILABLE" if that helps.

brenrox. Nope, booked on Air NZ's site. Hence the confusion!

ExpertFlyer Voice. Thanks! I suspect problem at Air NZ end....new fare structure/product being implemented.

OK, problem seems to be resolved and I have access to the PE seating for my return as well.

Only PE 1 seat left, so I have snaffled that ;)

Upper Deck PE reserved for Works Deluxe pax, with 2 pax per 3-seat block and 1 pax per 2-seat block.

Is it just me or is logging into your airpoints account from the top right hand corner of the airnz.co.nz page take you to a completely different interface instead of myairnz now? Is this the non-flash version that people requested?

Must be you. Both methods sent me to the same (flash) place.

If you don't have flash installed, or have high security settings, then it reverts to a non-flash extremely limited version of the site.

I certainly have flashed still installed as I can see the myairnz.co.nz page fine. I'll just have to go that website directly now. I think this change coincided with Google Chrome's recent update to version 7 (I didn't alter any of the security settings). I don't have this problem in either Opera or IE8.

I use Chrome and see a non-flash version. Not the same limited non-flash version as usual though I don't think - still seems relatively functional.

Same and I'm using Chrome (some type of version 7). Flash seems to be working fine on Mozilla and IE though.

I'm stilling get the flash one useing FireFox 3.6 for OSX10.6

It looks like they're doing some updates on the "How far can you go?" page. It shows flights to Canberra for $0 (sadly not true ;) ) and a flight to an unnamed destination above the Arctic circle for $102, but when you click on it you end up with an even less thrilling destination-Masterton.

Ha it looks quite funny, just runs straight off the page. Long time to be in a 1900D!
