United Airlines suspends NZ service

United Airlines is pulling back on its non-stop service between Auckland and San Francisco, instead making it a seasonal route. The airline confirmed Saturday that Auckland to San Francisco flights will be unavailable between April 18 and Oct 30 this year, and passengers are being encouraged to fly the route on Air NZ. "This change is in response to seasonal variations, which will also see United Airlines adding an additional 3 flights per week starting Dec 18, 2017 after resuming its daily Auckland to San Francisco services Oct 31, 2017. This will increase services to a total of 10 United's flights per week during the high seasonal demand period," United Airlines said. The United route came to New Zealand last July as Air NZ sought to deepen its partner relationship with the airline. <br/>
