Please:
Do NOT call the airline while the fare is still alive!
(Definitely dead now. Plead your case to have your ticket(s) reinstated!)

Not me. Fingers crossed. I would be pretty upset if they did this.

I booked with expedia and I received the expedia record locator plus the Air NZ record locator. I can't log into the ANZ R/L (some others have the same issue). But on checkmytrip there is no ticket number as yet. Any idea if this is an issue? How do I get the ticket number to show up?

I booked through cheapoair (same price), ticket issued and have ANZ confirmation number. But when I go to airnewzealand, it doesnt seem I have an eticket yet ... says
Payment summary
See your eTicket and receipt for more details.
I wonder if this was because an OTA, though. All the segments show Biz
NVM I found ticket number on CheapoAir, but the ticket number not on ANZ.

I was fortunate enough to grab this fare while still active (Orbitz). We already were in AUS for a family trip and this worked our perfectly to get us home. Thanks for sharing!
Quick question - The only routing I was able to find the fare for on our date of travel was a routing from MEL->AKL->LAX. We are actually in Sydney for this part of our trip so it would be MUCH easier to avoid an extra leg and go SYD->AKL->LAX. It there any chance that ANZ would consider allowing me to switch that segment (and i'm happy to pay any fare difference for that segment)? Would it be beyond foolish to call and ask, esp since I am still within the 24 hour cancellation window?
Thanks in advance for any and all guidance!

It doesn't mean that an Expedia confirmation IS an e-ticket.

I have had many many many Expedia.com.au tickets issued with Qantas and TigerAir and they often do not come with an E-ticket number. Looking back on my past bookings and my current bookings, only some have e-ticket numbers issued - the rest only have PNR. This said, they all have seat numbers allocated.
My experience is that Expedia.com.au does indeed automatically issue an E-ticket, assigns seat and takes your money immediately. It just sometimes does not list your eticket number on your account.
Anyway - I will call them in a week or two to see if there are any issues.

Picked up notification of this deal early this morning, quickly got onto it to find a decent routing and availability to suit a planned trip. Managed to get a stopover in Hawaii on the outward leg for some relax 
Booked through a premium OTA and the PNR and eticket came through in 5 minutes and immediately showed up (automatically) in my FF profile.
Thanks and well done to those that secured the deal.

I'd let this one slide, and if honoured, just take a cheapie fare down to Melbourne to connect. Connections in MEL are very simple... all terminals are adjacent to each other and takes less than one minute to walk.
