With the CX fare I can find the exact fare at the sale price.
Edit: I guess something changed and the ZW0ZA9 fare is available at $1334 only with a ticketing date of 1/3.

On closer reading of the rules... when making a change after departure, there is a provision for repricing using fares in effect when ticket was issued. Though it is not clear when this rule would apply rather than the CURRENTLY TKTD FARE rule. One could argue that the fare in effect when ticket was issued was the mistake fare and that therefore repricing should be based on the mistake fare. Good luck to anyone venturing to test this!!! Personally I am sticking with what I have.
allow changes on these tickets.

That was the case on 1/3, I could search for fares on expertflyer and ZW0ZA9 came back at $1334. However if I search on expertflyer today and enter in ticketing date of 1/3 then the fare comes back as $7334.

That's why I said "confirmed tickets". Do you know for a fact that all the cancellations were due to a lack of confirmed ticketing?

I had the same experience but I searched again this morning (specifying the fare basis, ticketing date) and it showed up for some reason. I could even get it with a ticketing date of 1/2.

Deja Vu...
Wow. I wanna say I took this very same routing (Biz/First) almost 12 years ago? I forget when exactly, but same deal, same price - although from SFO to AKL. Although this time the minute I land, I'm hopping on plane to make my way to DPS! Congrats to all who snagged this and thanks OP!

Hi Everybody! Long time reader, first time to post though. What would be the best airline to credit this to if I'm looking for status? My resolution for 2019 was to up my travel game, lol. I'd say this is a great start. Or, alternatively, what would be the best one to credit to if we're looking to fly to Europe from the US next summer. Thanks in advance!
I actually sent a PM to ANZ on twitter. They said it was diverted back to AKL due to "engineering default" and NZ 27 would be cancelled as a result

If you can pull it up, would you mind pulling a copy of the ORD-MEL fare rules and put it in the Wiki too? My EF search only shows the expensive ones, even with 1/2 or 1/3 ticketing dates.

So I am attempting to create a spreadsheet that shows the different *A programs and what it would take to reach gold based on this flight. I left some programs out since there's no point in even trying. Also I prefer programs that give 2 years worth of gold. Obviously, the mileage isn't 100% accurate since I didn't change the earnings for the United leg I have. It's based on ORD-AKL-SYD-AKL-LAX-ORD on the webflyer calculator.
Please let me know what else I am missing, any mistakes I made or if you have further suggestions.
