What class does Air NZ book CCPStar1 into?
Title says it all, apart from - is my travel agent an idiot?
He is telling me that the CPStar1 that I want to book goes into Z on Air NZ and there is no availability between MEL-AKL but heaps AKL-LAX/SFO. He said it use to book into D, but now books in Z. If it does still book into D. what can I send him to show him?
So does Air NZ now book RTW, CP, CA into "Z" which will limit availability and any means to book them on the CA CP or RTW or is it still D class and my travel agent is an idiot?
Thanks

NZ has a caveat that if Z not available, book U (Premium Y) or if Z/U not available, book Y.

That's horrible.
With so many seats available and more each day now with swine fever, they want to limit themselves with Z.
Especially as they are trying to capture the US market, AKL-US is wide open on the day I want to travel but MEL-AKL isn't.
So is it just Circle Asia and Circle Pac that "Book Z" is RTW still D?

Get your agent to confirm U for MEL-AKL while you still can and waitlist Z. If the flight is as bad as you seem to think it is pax wise and doesn't pick up in a hurry, the Z should clear at some stage you would think.
Circle Asia has UA NZ and LH booking into Z, the others remain at D for the time being.
Circle Pac is AC NZ UA and US into Z, the others in D.
Everyone is still D for RTW except AC with it's C requirement.

The travel agent said the waitlist for Z is closed.
The flight is still showing C4 D3. (NZ124 on May 10)
So I have got him to book MEL - WLG - AKL instead of MEL-AKL direct.
The CA code share CA5110 is showing as C4 D4
