Air New Zealand PEY one way and and business one way - ~$3400 total

[MEL_Traveller]

Special from Helloworld - if you book Australia to LAX/SFO return for $2680, for just $850 you can upgrade to business premier one way. That's a pretty good deal!

Happen to know what fare class is after the paid upgrade to J by any chance? Might be a useful VA status run/holiday in there.

I think it's A class on the PY leg and J class on the Biz leg
