OK, first off, let me admit that the NZ Herald is a rubbish news source, however,
Air NZ set to announce new US destination - Business - NZ Herald News (http://www.nzherald.co.nz/business/news/article.cfm?c_id=3&objectid=11365415)
"Air New Zealand is poised to make a decision to fly to a new destination in the United States.
It is understood Las Vegas, Houston and Chicago are under active consideration and the airline could be flying to one of these cities within the next 12 months."
Of the three, IAH would seem to be the most likely ( to me) . LAS is low yield and easily reached from the existing SFO/LAX gateways, and ORD just seems a bit too far and not offer as many connections as IAH would .
Anyway, I guess time will tell whether there is any truth to this or whether the Herald hacks ( ooops, "reporters" ) have had a few too many drinks.
