Just booked MEL-AKL-MEL 7th and 9th March.

$443 with TAKEOFF100 sale (Enter code at bottom of payment page) - Amex is giving another $100 off as a promotion on our QBR card for spending $500 - I see wine in my future for the remaining $57 ....

Now for accommodation ...

Offer limited to the first 620 eligible bookings. Discount is valid on return flights only
flying from anywhere in Australia, then direct from Sydney, Melbourne or Brisbane

so I best hunt around for something in the next 24 hours....

decisions decisions
points spend would be 36.000 plus $339
revenue spend is $616 (assuming the $100 orf applies)
thats a pretty average use of tat many points

mind you, can barely fly to Brisvegas and back for that price!?!

And Mrs L will now be coming along too. She joined us in Paris and has been to a NZ dinner before. So that is ten confirmed!

Eeek! What's going on in Auckland that weekend? Voco booked out 7th and 8th.

For now have a points booking at Hilton (Rather than $700+). May have to consider shared accommodation for ~$120!
