AIR - Air NZ.

You and Winner are just a sour you couldn't steal some off others at under $2. If you didn't trip over your own bias you could have had some at $2.23 and been up 13% in less than ten days

The ramp losing momentum on the market and thread?

No interest in ramping this one, holding for the long term for dividend income and looking to add more so no point in ramping is there !
Getting 12.3% yield beats counting beans for a living I tell ya !

Very robust debate about this one this week. Suppose it all depends if one sees the glass as half full or half empty or if one simply prefers drinking from plastic cups instead.
Thing is regardless of whether the glass is half full or half empty...does it really matter if you're only paying for half a glass of water and they keep adding 12%+ to it every year...

You paying for most of a glass of water and the glass leaks badly at times.

This article suggesting a jet service Auckland to Nelson

That’ll make Iceman happy

But A320s into Nelson ...hmm

Some economy seats going for 899$ return to the US over a two month period...Can't recall it being offered in such numbers before for AIR. Forwards bookings and spare capacity....so not just premium economy offerings.

Market doesn't see it through your jaundiced eyes and its up from $2.23 on 21 March to $2.53.5 just 8 days later. It'll be back to $3 sometime next year, (plus the 12%+ divvy return in the meantime) remember the dog called it first

Got an AirNZ ad offering Kuala Lumpur - Auckland return from RM2,888, which is a very good price.
It would be via Singapore and, as with any [airline] click bait, there are no clues as to which date combo would actually get that price.

Purely in the name of research, as I have no requirement to visit home yet, I tried a few combos and the cheapest price was more than twice the above figure and only once in the eight did they beat Malaysia Airlines, who have the benefit of flying direct.

As an added bonus you get redirected to the Singapore website and quoted actual fares in SG dollars and I am now being pursued by adverts for AirNZ, MalAir & others.
