There is a 10 day min in AKL or OJ SYD, so you need to stay in AKL 10 days or fly out of SYD 10 days after arrival in AKL

I scored this back in August. 4800 EUR per person for a Flexible fare (fully refundable). The Basic fare was 4300 EUR. Pretty happy with it.
Since then NRT-AKL has been cancelled. Rebooked on FRA-SFO-AKL (LH+UA) to keep the First Class seats.

Can anyone recommend a travel agent to book these through?
I thought I'd secured an AMS-AKL trip using Lufthansa's call centre, but after a lot of chasing seems that they aren't now going to ticket it.

Have you tried Expedia? Managed to get c 3200eur pricing through them - not as good as travel agent obv but able to lock in the tickets before they disappear

I am curious if those people selecting to fly with Air New Zealand knows what Business Class seat looks like in Air New Zealand ? You cant even look out of the window while seated normally.

Sam Chui did a review. The seat is not fantastic but what it lacks in privacy it makes up for in comfort for sleep. The seat has a flip over that the steward will do and make up bed with cosy memory foam mattress and good width. Most of Air NZ long flights are night time and so people mostly sleep after dinner and before breakfast so it is very quiet in the cabin. NZ food is one of the best IMO. Friendly crew. They are updating the seats for 2023, they will have some suites and a much more updated seat.

How much space is there in the walkway when the seats are flat? That just looks like you're about to play footsie with your aisle-mate

Hi - booked this RTW ticket with Lufthansa, with some legs on different airlines within the ticket (Singapore Airlines, Thai Airways, Swiss Airways).
Just received an email that the Thai Airways flight time has changed, such that it departs BEFORE i arrive to BKK.
Anyone know or have advice on what my options are? Obviously keen to fly given the difficulty in booking this ticket - but not sure who to contact and what could be done.
Any help would be appreciated!

I agree. This looks like the old Virgin Atlantic seats that were very narrow. I am 190 and wide shoulders and had trouble sleeping there. Though I found most new seats much narrower, I would still prefer the old 2-2-2 configurations with less privacy

One of my flight changed (Air NZ) and they've rebooked my FRA-HND-AKL onto FRA-SFO-AKL within 5min.
