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

Well I've filed a complaint with DOT and I've reached out to NZ's email complaints dept. I've requested reimbursement for a positioning flight I purchased. We shall see. Seriously considering filing in small claims court here in the USA if I don't get favorable responses from NZ. It's pretty cheap to file and I'd expect them to settle given that I won't be filing in a jurisdiction where they have a corporate presence. Where I live doesn't allow lawyers in small claims so they'd actually have to send a corporate representative.

Are you suing for expenses you incurred as a result of the booking, or to have the flights themselves reinstated?

No refund for me still even though I cancelled my flights literally 10 minutes after the 24 hr window. Had to CXL via phone call due to codeshares on DL. First agent placed me on hold for a few minutes so that the 24 hours would pass then transferred me to another department that tried to charge me a cancellation fee. However, they were so nice and waived it as a "one-time courtesy"

Seeing as how NZ honored this [PREM FARE GONE] ORD-SYD NZ $1500 RT biz I am curious to see if anyone did, or is planning, to pursue legal action against the carrier.
