AIR - Air NZ.

[Beagle]

Yes on some particular flights Baa Baa which are close to fully booked AIR will charge you a top price if you are insistent on travelling on that particular date and on that particular flight. Pragmatic people simply accept the commercial reality that ALL airlines are there to maximise profits, (welcome to the commercial reality of the aviation world), and take steps to mitigate the effects thereof. In your case this could involve changing flight times or date or simply driving the short distance to Wellington airport and flying out of there. 50 km's and 40 minutes is all what I hear is involved, more during the rush hour...roughly the same amount of time it takes me to travel to Auckland airport every single time I fly.

Frankly I'm a little surprised that AIR N.Z. bother to provide the good citizens of Paraparumu with the super convenience of flights right from their back doorstep with such a major airport in such close proximity. Be careful what you wish for because if AIR can't make a profit on the Paraparumu flights you'll lose that convenience.

If you are price conscious there are ample cheap flights from Wellington to Auckland and vice versa for those that book ahead a bit so for the sake of a relatively short drive I really think you already have the power to do something about it if the flight prices out of the Kapiti Coast concern you so much. On the other hand if you're an extremely busy businessman and value the extra time each way saved on a commute to Wellington airport then pay-up and be glad you've got that super doorstep convenience that most of us don't have the privilege of being able to chose to enjoy.

Roger, I see in an earlier post you were extolling the virtues of an Amex card, have you found some retailers reluctant to accept the card ? Like everything someone has to pay for whatever benefits you are obtaining, as an accommodation business in times gone buy we would not accept the Amex card because of the horrendous commission rate charged compared with Visa/Mastercard. It can be annoying to turn up @ certain businesses and find your card is not acceptable.

OMG, Roger and several others banned as a result of their little tiff

Ina purely selfish note this is bad news - last tie Roger was banned the AIR share price dropped. Boud to happen again.

And Tim, yes the charts didn't 'predict' this banning and consequential drop in the AIR shareprice.

Hardly a tiff worth banning. There will hardly be anyone left shortly at this rate.

.....And Tim, yes the charts didn't 'predict' this banning and consequential drop in the AIR shareprice.

AIR swung downwards 2 November from a bearish triple top high (2.97)...the thursday 12th and Friday 13th turnaround did not produce enough buy signals only very short term stuff..The BB's also relaxed its squeeze with the 10th November fall suggesting a new downtrend...The chart showed this before the Paris Event...

Wall St also fired my personal Warning Get Out signals...(before Paris event).....The media will blame Paris Event if the Markets downtrend from Monday ...but in reality there are other factors influencing the Global Equity swing down...The Paris Event may amplify the possible downtrend but it was not the catalyst...

Thanks mate.

We all have to be very careful on here these days. I had a post removed a few days ago and received a "warning" for an attempt at what I thought was just some mild humour.

Share trading is a serious business, so we must all treat it as such and keep our posts completely relevant and strictly to the point. Bearing that in mind AIR has not suffered too much today in the wake of the horror in Paris - down 2.1% at the moment, could have been much worse.
