I booked via CheapOAir (not a favorite of mine, but they still had the deal available yesterday when others didn't). I am ticketed and confirmed on UA website and i've had it added to my UA account. I haven't checked with Air NZ yet, but so far so good.
update: confirmed on NZ too.
Now, is it possible and how much would it cost to upgrade to premium economy or business on the LAX-AKL legs?

That was fun. This was reminiscent of a better time when low jumbo fares were a regular thing. Seemed available 11am until about 3pm ET. I did not see it until 1pm.
I booked and have ticketed 2 to CHC and 3 to AKL (3 Exp, 1 TL, 1 PL). Since the weather in June/July is cooler and winter I'll probably only keep the short turn around trips to gain PQM on UA. Looks to be about 17k r/t PQM for $350.

No leg to stand on. All they have to do is say it's an error regardless if it is or not. You could always hope you live in a state with pro consumer anti business small claims court judges.

All my bookings were ticketed a few hours after receiving confirmation yesterday - around 6pm EST
Flights are mostly full, as far as my booked flights show, with few seats remaining.

Booked yesterday around 3:30pm EST, was ticketed shortly after, and was able to reserve seats. Both UA and NZ confirmations are still showing up on respective sites. Still holding my breath, and need to convince my boss for the PTO (I picked some dates without realizing it coincides with another co-worker's holiday)
