Thanks
If you're on UA.com and go to the Manage Reservation screen you'll get this. Simply click on on View Additional Confirmation Numbers and you'll get the NZ confirmation. Check the screenshot to help you if need be.

Thats nightmare. Did ANZ refund you for the positioning flight ?

Unfortunately not. Read back through the thread, and there are cancellations from Expedia, Smartfares, and Hopper as well. Seems like it's only a matter of time before they're all canceled. Hopefully not, and a few get to take advantage of this amazing deal.

That's what I saw last night. Received a call from the OTA about 30 minutes later.

Yes I have the 086 ticket numbers. I'll check with the OTA thanks.

Curious on this, is NZ mandated to cancel tickets by a particular time period after booking if they don't intend to honor them?

Based on past experience with carriers in that area of the world...no... I believe VA took 7 days to officially say no. My experience with US based carriers has been they say within 24-48 hours...but YMMV

Seems that the DOT regulation re: error fares should address this. Give them 48 hrs to figure it out and cancel. Its poor form to know they can take the ticket from right underneath you whenever they so please.

Did DOT ever issue a final ruling? I've nt seen one (but I may have missed it).
