Air New Zealand premium economy opinions

I'm considering a transpacific cruise that ends in Auckland, and hoping to use my Aeroplan points for part, if not all, of the flight home. I'm afraid I won't be able to get business class from New...

As many have said, I've never heard of such a thing - while I can imagine the switch to a new agent if possible if the original agent unexpectedly left the business, I can't imagine how or why you...

I would certainly rather travel with a good friend (or husband, if I had one), but I'd rather travel alone than not travel at all!

Huh.....I just did a dummy booking for a transatlantic on Cunard, and the lowest fare for a single was about 80% more than for double occupancy. Maybe it's different for UK travelers, or for...

Wow, what odd assumptions! What does never having vacationed alone have to do with having a credit card? Why would you think her husband wouldn't be supportive?

You could always ask your travel agent to keep an eye out for you as well. I agree that I'd never pay double to sail alone, but I also won't sail with someone simply because they've decided to offer...
