Trying to non-rev back from AKL or SYD to LAX or SFO on 3/31 or 4/1. Have passes on AirNZ or could use walk-up pass agreement with United. I thought mid-week, mid-season, no holidays would be a relatively safe time to go, but I&#39;m starting to be told otherwise. Any load updates or suggestions as to why these flights look packed? Should I still bother trying this trip, if I can wait as late as 4/2?[/b]
Could just be cheap cheap seats. Our premium end dropped off but we are overselling Y by a huge amount with a massive discounted fare diluting yields. Plus competition competition competition! V Australia, Qantas, United and Air NZ etc are all in a fare war across with Pacific which is making people want to travel. For example V Australia are selling tix for around $950 AUD return to LAX.
