Sometimes just simply buying a revenue ticket with a reservation is the best way.
Take 2-3-4-5 carriers with ID90 (or ZED fares) and total the amount spent and
the sum of these exceeds the price of a ticket with reservation.
Another option buy the revenue ticket for the most difficult leg of the journey.
Cavet traveling NR to get to the point of the Holding Confirmed space can be
dicey.
Have you researched an ID ticket on Air New Zeland does your B6 airline permit this ?
As mrs767er noted about passing GO - possibly consider flying to a point in Asia or
Australia (Philipines - Singapore) and get to your destination from the other side of the
Pacific as long as the fare is cheap and the timing gets you there.
Do you have exchange travel priviledges with United; Qantas or Delta for LAX SYD
or American/Qantas for DFW SYD portion to construct a routing ?
Something to remember when buying the least expensive (cheap) ticket when you
check-in it does not hurt to mention that you are part of the travel industry. It may
not get you anything but yet if the gate agent is having trouble trying to get all them
alligators (crocodiles) but failed to drain the swamp you may be the key to helping
him find a solution and instead of an economy cramped seat - it might get you a
comfort plus seat - who knows. Still yet traveling NR - getting there at all is the
challenge - make the most of it !
