Just a quick question, I am thinking about booking a flight AKL > PVG > LAX with a 10hr+ layover at PVG in J. Is it true that there is not a lounge in PVG for star alliance J passengers? If this is the case does anyone know if there are any decent lounges with a shower that I can buy a day...

Maybe look at getting a bus to Union Station ($7 for the Flyaway bus) an then grab the Amtrak to SAN ($36) could take about 3-4hrs all up for under $50 bucks. Havent done this before but thought it could be an idea.

I pretty much check on a daily basis for the last 6 months and anything long haul to north america AKL > LAX / SFO / YVR is basically obsolete now, they don't release them. Spoke to Air NZ the other day and the lady mentioned that a heap of people have been calling up with the same query and to...

With US Airways miles?? Where and how ? Can't find any.

I would suggest taking a look at the newish EWR <> BRU route because they have a ****-ton of availability & they look like they have nicely fitted out A330's similar to Swiss I think and BRU is just a short hop to those stop overs you mentioned. Could be worth a look should there be a lack of...

I currently use ANA & United's tools for checking avail flights. I have heard there is a program/membership you can download for a price that can alert you if seats come available and makes for easier more accurate searches, does anyone know anything about this? And also has SQ released any...

Yeah I have thought about that also but the problem is if I Open Jaw ADL > DEST > SYD. Then I wont get the stopover I need in the USA or it will force me to fly to SYD/MEL twice one on each end. If I can get into AKL on the 15/16/17/18 I'll be fine, plenty of AKL-ADL avail. Nothing on the SQ...

Getting super frustrated with the lack of availability in Business Class from North America in October, fluked getting from ADL > LAX via AKL & HNL available on the way up in August but looking to return from NYC to ADL in mid October 14/15/16 and it is just excruciating. Been looking at stock...

AFL Dreamteam code: 457597 Get around it!

Any AFL dream team players out there? I wonder if we should start a league for AFF-ers. I have a couple of league spots free. If you think it is a good idea let me know and I'll start a league and post the code. -NC

Has anyone actually tried contacting Air NZ directly before about their policy on award business class seats using these points, or would anyone know the person/department/email within Air NZ to contact about it? It would be handy to chat/email with someone who organises / decides which seats...

Well spotted. I noticed this too and just bought a couple of bottles of vodka and sent off the form, will report back with what the quality of the luggage is like. I went to david jones to check out some of the others and I thought the American Tourister style looked alot like Samsonite, I...

The only time I have ever asked is on VA when they lost my bags for a full week when I was in the USA, lost them on the way up they only got them back to me 2 hours before me return flight about 7-8 days later. Explained the story to the CSO and that 'it would be nice to get a bump up to J to...

I can't find a single flight from AKL to North America in NZ (SFO, YVR, LAX) in J available at the moment. Is this just because the next 2-3 months are usually busy or is it because the J seats are just not being released? I am needing return in J between AKL & anywhere in North America in...

I have no experience in booking groups but if it were me I would be aiming for Air NZ. SYD to SFO via AKL. At the moment for early April you will be looking about $1800 return. Also for $55 a head you can get guest passes to the Koru lounge at AKL to pass the time for the 2-3hr layover, which...

ADL > USA is usually $1400-$1600 on the best possible deals around in Economy, to spend $200 more and get business class is worth it just for the extra luggage alone!, let alone the fact that you are sitting in the pointy end, get to lie flat to sleep, priority baggage & check in lines, get...

$1800 business class return flights to the USA keep me entertained buddy. No small thing at all. How can you not see the value?

Haha, Gold. Completely agree.
