Confirmed upgrade & award space on routes to New Zealand

2LNR tracks confirmed upgrade inventory on American, Delta and Alaska, and award seats across more than 20 airlines, flight by flight and date by date. On a route flown by one of them, what you see is space that exists right now rather than a prediction; on the rest, this page carries the schedule and who flies it.

Compare dates, not just gateways

Each route opens a calendar, so shifting a departure by a day is a visible option rather than a guess about flights into New Zealand.

Get told when space opens

Long-haul premium inventory turns over without warning. Watch a route and 2LNR notifies you when an upgrade or award seat appears.

The interactive map draws every nonstop in and out of New Zealand, so a connection through a second gateway is easy to spot.
