Have been trawling their site again today and have noticed they now offer the premium economy seating.
Originally there were nine blue zone exit seats that you could book - three in Row 1 ABC and the other six located 3 either side of the aisle over the wing exits. Now there are only six of these seats available for booking as the first 3 rows are now the red premium seating.
The fares presently are way up there but me thinks that anyone that has booked a blue zone seat where all nine have been sold maybe lucky and get a free upgrade?? Might be worthwhile asking at check in re additional cost to upgrade.
Where it once read premium seating is not available on Pacific Blue and Polynesian Blue flights it now says with the exception of Bne-Dps, Perth-Dps and Adl-Dps.
This seating gives you 32kg luggage allowance, complimentary food and beverage and complimentary live2air inflight entertainment.
Maybe those travelling next week can enlighten us further.
