Air New Zealand is to extend its trial of a 'want an upgrade, make us an offer' system for long haul flights.
On flights where opportunities for upgrades exist, economy and premium economy ticket holders who’ve booked directly with Air New Zealand (online, via the Contact Centre or at an Air New Zealand Holidays store) may receive an email inviting them to make an offer to upgrade to the next cabin class, the airline announced today.
Passengers whose offers are accepted will receive email confirmation several days prior to travel. Where offers are similar, preference will be given to Air New Zealand’s most frequent flyers according to their Airpoints membership status.
The system, OneUp, was trialled with passengers who purchased tickets in North America, United Kingdom and Australia. Today’s announcement now extends that trial to include passengers ticketed ex New Zealand to travel to Los Angeles, San Francisco, Vancouver Hong Kong, Shanghai or Beijing; as well as passengers travelling between Los Angeles and London and Hong Kong and London.
