Flying Air New Zealand as Velocity Gold

[TomVexille]

Worth noting that NZ do see PE on AKL-PER-AKL.

If you get the NZ booking reference (ends in H) either by calling Air NZ with your VA ticket number or by calling VA and asking for it, you can self-assign seating in the PE cabin on trans-Tasman shorthaul flights on Air New Zealand's website.

OLCI doesn't always seem to work when flying NZ on a VA code however.

But that doesn't fit in their "seats to suit" business model. PER is sold as a medium haul and not in their east coast strategy.

PER is sold with the "seats to suit" offering. Economy passengers can buy a seat only ticket...

What's seat to suit? Is that some sort of policy where people in suits get c seats.

I'm not seeing it. It's sold like their long haul routes and not like the east coast routes.

Are you using the .com USA portal? They don't offer the Seats to Suit out of that market, but if you use the .co.nz or .com.au website it'll have the options for Seat, Seat+Bag, Works, etc.
