I want to fly Air New Zealand from Houston (IAH) to Auckland (AKL). I would like to buy my tickets directly from Air New Zealand and use my *A miles (possibly CO) to upgrade my economy ticket to business class so I can sit next to Peter Jackson or Evangeline Lilly. Is this possible? I would also settle for upgrading my economy ticket to a skycouch, but I have seen other threads and it looks like this isn't possible.
Help me Obi-DAN Kenobi, you’re my only hope.
