I've just checked a few of these dates on BA, and they don't seem to be showing any of this space at all. Do you have any idea why that could be?
@ SC -- It sometimes takes websites a bit longer to update availability. It should be bookable through BA if you call. Otherwise I suspect it will be updated shortly.
@ alex -- Took them just a bit ago. Did you try calling as well? It could be that they're just a bit delayed in correctly showing the space online. Or perhaps someone just booked the exact dates you were looking at.
Totally awesome tip. Booked Atlanta to Tokyo on skymiles for 80k in Biz, then NRT to Christchurch for 40k via BNE using my AA miles. Thanks. Lots of ways to use this into NZ too.
Thanks for such a great finding! Just booked two C seats PER-MEL-NRT for honeymoon!
Could you book this as one award from LAX to MEL with a connection in NRT using AA miles? I know the cost would increase to 80,000, but I was just curious if that was possible?
Heads up, you can also fly onto New Zealand for the same amount of miles. Qantas Jet Connect is a subpar business across the Tasman but Qantas' business lounges more than make up for that!
