    Heads up.

    Air New Zealand will NOT refund your ticket if your flight gets cancelled. Instead you will be stuck with a credit.

    I recommend going on Qantas only if going to NZ - Qantas will refund you in the event that they cancel your flight.

        I had a flight cancelled in March and was advised that it could take up to 8 weeks for the refund to process. It was done in about 4 weeks which is still 3 weeks and 6 days too long.

    • freefall101 on 03/05/2021 - 17:20

      Air New Zealand used to always be my go to, right up they hit me with a $1,000 cancellation fee for a flight they cancelled (I specifically bought refundable flights, they decided to hit me with that). Fortunately the credit card company backed me on it and refunded me (after a really long process).

      I was lucky to get what I got, at the time AirNZ were telling most people they could only get credit and that it would only last 6 months and broke US law by refusing to give the yanks refunds. They killed a lot of goodwill really quickly.

        I know right… what other industry can decide not to provide you with the service you paid for and not be required to refund you.
        US and EU forced the airlines to refund, yet AU with all our consumer laws, nothing.

    • plague69 on 04/05/2021 - 01:51

            @henrus: July 1927. Of course, back in those days you could drive the horse and buggy to Melbourne rather than take the flying wing, but that required 17 stops along the way to feed and water the horses. It used to cost 3 pence to feed a horse in Newcastle and 2 pence in Albury so I'd make sure to fatten the horses up before leaving. One time I fed my horses for just 1 penny, but that was back in the days that a penny was worth more than a farthing, due to the picture of the king on it. The king once said that flying wings were the tool of the devil but he probably meant devilled eggs as they used to transport eggs to him via flying wings in those days. Anyway, on the 16th stop to feed and water the horses is where I met Mabel, my wife. She never knew about Annie who was at the 16th stop who once charged me 4 pence to feed a horse….

            • henrus on 03/05/2021 - 18:49

              @freefall101: haha gave me a laugh. I guess in 2021 you could do it for free (or the cost of a marker) if you find some cardboard and try to hitchhike between the two.

    That’s crazy good for gold coast - auckland

    Think airlines overestimated demand for these flights, I just got back from a week long trip, both flights syd-akl and back were probably half filled at most, and those were pretty cheap flights (paid $312 return a week out - note taxes alone are about $238)

    • dyziplen on 03/05/2021 - 17:29

      They are probably flying as much as they could. Not sure about Air NZ, but Qantas is still on Qantaskeeper, so NZ probably got similar.

      • plague69 on 04/05/2021 - 01:57

      "Return" to a country that apparently can and will make it illegal and a criminal justice for citizens to enter. Right.

      Could you say that again, this time in English?
      Is this referring to criminals who are not citizens of Australia being deported back to their home country? I'm sure most people are fine with this. If you want to stay here, don't commit crimes.

      • Randolph Duke on 04/05/2021 - 08:20

        I meant "criminal offence" instead of "criminal justice". I was unable to edit after I saw this grammatical error. Apologies.

  • OldBugger on 03/05/2021 - 22:06

    Anyone know about Qantas cancellation if you used points only? They say you can cancel fee free but not sure if that means you will get refunded all your points or just get a credit of some sort.

    Will ring them in the morning as I can't find any info about it.

          For me, I got my points back 25 days after I cancelled my classic rewards booking. Got an email notifying me of the points refund. (Email said the refund of the cash component could take 8 weeks more)
          The cash component (fees and taxes) was refunded 32 days after cancellation. Did not get an email notifying me of the cash refund.

    • Eeples on 06/05/2021 - 11:47

      I think the problem is booking in advance then getting cancelled.

      I would only book a week in advance.
