| | AA Business Class To New Zealand, Up To 9 Seats | Business class award space to Australia and New Zealand has always been tough, but space has been particularly sparse lately if you’re not booking at the very last minute. | However, American has released a nice chunk of award space on a couple of routes to Auckland toward the end of the year and even more in early 2026. This could also be a great way to get home from Australia with a positioning flight. | I would book this ASAP! | Now, let’s get into it! | Let me know if you book! | Shout out to Thrifty Traveler for the find! |
