It's been a week, does anyone still have an active booking ?

If this is any consolation, UA and AC are running some deals to Hawaii for next month:

UA YYZ -> HNL for $521 CAD:

YUL -> OGG for $565 CAD:

Hope that helps.

Thanks James,Been there already (hawai) and don't feel like going again that too its expensive place.
I would probably go to cuba for budget gateway and save money for next trip and wait for other deals..Does this site posts any deals to Cuba? as I see every site has same prices and hardly see any deals despite flexible dates thought Feb/March..

Couple more ideas (assuming you're based out of YYZ):

San Diego on AC/UA for $340 CAD:
https://www.google.com/flights/#sear...0-SFOYYZ0AC756

Hotels tend to be pretty cheap there + good weather.

Orlando on AA for $$305 CAD:
https://www.google.com/flights/#sear...-DCAYYZ0AA4324

Hotel has some of the cheapest hotels in the USA.

Could also go to Hawaii's 7th Island (Las Vegas) for $374 CAD on AA:
https://www.google.com/flights/#sear...-CLTYYZ1AA5360

Hotels there (especially in downtown) can be easily had for $50-$60/night.

Would probably recommend SAN since weather will be really nice and there's a lot to see and do there.

Safe Travels,

Who did you book with?

You're almost certainly deluding yourself. UA does NOT equal Air NZ. Try using your Air NZ PNR and see if you're able to see your reservation.

well at least the UA & NZ Segments are showing in both systems status HK / seats are still confirmed and reserved
...so i guess it means they are good as of now

mkannuri

congratulation then...so far most of us got cancellation emails and refunds were processed as well.
Try and change the seats in NZ segment..if that allows then you are super good.

My UA reservation is still showing as active. My reservation has disappeared from AirNZ site.

I have not had an email notifying me of the cancellation from either AMEX or AirNZ, nor have I had a refund processed to my AMEX Platinum card. The card was charged for the fare (went from pending to charged).

My flight date was Feb 13th. I am currently in Asia, but when I get home I am going to call AMEX again to escalate.

Brituchenite

No longer, it appears!

Just out of curiosity what would happen if you book this ticket for say a two week stay, then book your standard non refundable hotel. Per DoT regulations If they want to cancel they must refund both the mistake fare and accommodation made in reliance. I suspect a 2 weeks stay in NZ will cost as much if not more than the fare difference.

wouldnt it therefore make sense for them to just honor the fare?
