Air NZ may reduce the number of low-priced seats on the Auckland-LA route as it becomes the only carrier flying direct. 

This could be the main outcome of Prime Minister John Key’s first official visit to Jakarta.

Air New Zealand will add a fifth weekly service to Shanghai from July 4 but will suspend its twice-weekly direct Auckland to Beijing service from June 30.

Around 97 per cent of passengers booked should be able to travel tomorrow on Mt Cook flights today, airline says.
