Google flights processed $330 for me out of MIA, but fare is no longer available on UA, NZ or Priceline.

Long flight, for sure. However, we did Toronto to Dubai in November and Toronto to Beijing earlier this month, both in Air Canada economy, and lived to tell.We just keep reminding ourselves how cheap the flight is, and with some sleeping aids and in-flight entertainment distractions, it’s really tolerableI won’t be heartbroken if Air New Zealand cancels, and but if it sticks, it’s hard to beat a family of five traveling for the regular price of one economy ticket..

I bought two separate reservations on Priceline. The first one gave me a message that they would confirm with the airline and then email me in a few hours. The second one ticketed immediately and gave me an ANZ PNR. I'm curious if that makes a difference whether they'll honor.

Mistaken Fares – Air New Zealand cancellation
 
Dear Sir/Madam
 
Introduction
 
Air New Zealand Limited (“Air New Zealand”) wishes to advise you that certain Air New Zealand fares were mistakenly filed at prices that were around 10% of their intended value. 
 
Air New Zealand will be cancelling all affected bookings, and this note is to assist you to respond to queries your customers may have.
 
Background
 
Between 10:30AM and 1:00PM (Pacific Standard Time) on 23 January 2018, select one-way  and return Economy class fares (fare basis codes ending in -OZS7 and -OZS1) for travel from a number of US cities to New Zealand were mistakenly filed for approximately $100 one-way / $200 return when they normally sell for ten times that amount. 
 
These fares were filed incorrectly as a result of human error.
 
Air New Zealand has cancelled, or will soon cancel, each booking made in relation to these mistakenly filed fares.  
 
Air New Zealand recognizes the inconvenience to customers who have booked the mistakenly filed fares, but is also aware of a large number of consumers who were alerted to the error through social media and purchased the fares knowing they were a mistake.
 
Refunds to customers
 
For each affected customer, Air New Zealand will be refunding the amount paid for that mistake fare.    
 
In addition to the refund, Air New Zealand is also prepared to refund any additional, reasonable and verifiable “out of pocket” expenses that were made in reliance on the purchase of the mistake fare.  This is in line with the US Department of Transportation guidance on mistaken airfares published 08 May 2015 in respect to 14 CFR part 399.88  Prohibition on post-purchase price increase.  
 
Should you require any assistance in processing refunds, or re-booking affected passengers, Air New Zealand is happy to provide reasonable assistance through our Sales Support team.
 
 
 
For any bookings that have not yet been ticketed but may have the mistake fares stored,
Air NZ will not honor those fares.
 
Our sincere apologies for the inconvenience caused by this mistake.
Kind regards
 
 
Air New Zealand

Anyone else get this email? I have airline confirmation and even chose seats already. Are they all being canceled?

I could easily see them not honoring these tickets as they already have a trail of cancelling like they did to the Australia-LAX J

I can’t imagine how you could make a change and preserve the original fare.

On the other hand, I’m wondering if paying for premium seating might ensure non-cancellation?

How much would it cost to cancel the flight after the free cancelation?

I presume these tickets are non refundable and non changeable.  So, officially, you get nothing back if you cancel after the 24h period.  But, if there is a schedule change, or if you HUCA, you might be able to cancel and get full refund.

Priceline sent me a cancellation notice about my reservation that never got a PNR, but another reservation I made that was immediately ticketed and assigned a PNR is still active. Fingers crossed.
