Yup. Not getting it to come up as anything other than PE, even when trying to force in United. Would love to be shown wrong, though.

Air New Zealand doesn't show the fare at that price. CheapoAir says "Business Class"
Expedia shows Z class and Business Class seat map... Book Fast

Free stopover in AKL or RAR (though tougher with only 1x weekly LAX-RAR), and coming up in Chase and Amex travel portals. :D

Yep - fare not showing on UA or NZ sites but clearly biz on Expedia etc. So book there and hope.

not bookable on ANZ website at that price. but bookable on several OTAs, including Priceline and CheapoAir

haroon145 Jan 3, 2019 7:35 am

Just checked prices up on orbitz and Priceline as business class - great deal

Tokyoite Jan 3, 2019 7:39 am

I've asked mod to delete the thread I started.

I wonder if this will be honored, rather than getting seated into PE since NZ doesn't show the price.

I was able to book stopover in AKL with this price. Certain peak periods I only see flights with UA operated (no thanks).

Anyone find an origin city besides ORD? And is it possible to do a majority of the trip in NZ instead, or would that only be possible if I booked another flight from Australia to AKL and back between these flights?

You can, as per the rules. find the departures and returns on friday and saturday respectively. Note that the minimum time at SYD/Australian city is 12 hours.
AND - UNLIMITED FREE STOPOVERS PERMITTED ON THE PRICING UNIT IN AKL/RAR.

Does anyone have the full fare rules (no EF subscription here), and will share them, please?

Specifically, I am wondering about changes made after the first leg is flown.

su9062 Jan 3, 2019 7:52 am

Expedia error out. Where is everyone booking ?
