Air New Zealand has announced an exciting addition to their route network for this November. Or more accurately they've announced a service resumption, as they last flew here in 1998. Air New Zealand will be launching flights between Auckland and Seoul Incheon as of November 23, 2019. The flight will operate up to 5x weekly…

I was under the impression that NZ also flew AKL-KIX & AKL-DPS. Am I mistaken?
They're also going to be introducing a new business class seat and will be offering free wifi on all international flights
You know, Lucky's airline news kinda articles are always lacking some kind of info or facts. Or including false information and bunch if typos.
I don't think he even had proper college level education. Or any higher level education.
I do appreciate what he does, but I really think he should stick with just points and miles stuff.
Aaron, I have it on good authority that Lucky was born in a rhubarb patch in Gary Leff's garden. He was adopted and raised by a pack of wild german shepherds and brought to live on the grounds of AUS airport. This is how his mother tongue became german and his love of airlines began. It's true he has no formal education but his innate sense of the airline industry is quite good.
Pshaw. It won't help with award redemptions because Air New Zealand won't release any space.
lmao what the fuck is with these comments
i love you lucky dont listen to them
@Aaron (AKA whoever is posting as Debit)
Actually, Lucky did go to college, a fact which most long time readers of this site should already know.
@Aaron How unfortunate that you didn't proofread your comment about "bunch if typos" before you clicked POST COMMENT.
This site is like Wikipedia - a good place to get information but don't expect complete accuracy or particularly good writing.
Nonetheless I think it's great. If you don't I don't know why you'd be here reading it.
Even if this was a new *A route for US-NZ I don't see how this makes sense as it's such a roundabout route, geographically speaking. I see Americans flying direct to NZ if it was their original intended destination.
Me too, given large # of East Asian population in AKL. It's also farther than I thought it would be at 6K miles as it's similar to distance I flew from AKL to LAX. Guess I did not realize how far away NZ is from Asia.
AirNZ will be flying a couple of times in July to Buenos Aires with the 77W, apparently because of the World Rugby championship.
Hi regarding the last sentence in your post: "since with some programs you can redeem miles on a single ticket from the US to New Zealand via Incheon", could you please expand or list which airlines programs are the ones in which miles can be redeem to fly US to NZ via Incheon.
Is it just Cathay using Alaska miles? Can Korean be used for the second segment (ICN-AKL? And/or are there others programs?
Thank you.
The latest schedule should be as follows:
NZ75 Auckland to Incheon departing 10:35 arriving 6:30PM
