QF/EK Trans-Tasman F for $900

[robd]

You need to search for flights originating in New Zealand. It should then default to the NZ site.

It's still .com.au Sale First is $899. It's $100 cheaper on EK site.

Have you selected "New Zealand" from the drop down list on the top right-hand corner of the QF home page?

But it should say NZD

Yes, I did that.

 

[Mattg]

Yes, I did that.

In that case I'm out of ideas. Works fine for me.

 

[robd]

Right you are It is NZD but I'm still on com.au

Sorry, my bad.

Save the hassle and book in Australian Dollars directly on expedia.com.au for $804.39 less cashrewards 0.80% cashback = $797.95 = $6.65/SC?

I hate playing the currency conversion game on my credit card. I don't get charged any fees but the rate is sometimes less than average.

At that exchange rate you are getting 1.1176 a mere 1c off market.

Including the cashback you are getting it at 1.1266 which is only 0.002 off market.

 

[TomVexille]

Right you are It is NZD but I'm still on com.au

Correct. And the booking is subject to NZ terms and conditions.

Had a friend wanting to book MEL-AKL return for 5 pax Boxing Day returning 2nd Jan. whY fares on the usual suspects are circa $750 return sans baggage. Managed to snag EK in J on the QF site MEL-AKL on Boxing Day @ $440 each. They'll be slumming it back on Jet*.

Thanks. We had been debating going to NZ over new years but were struggling to justify the price tag. But happy to pay $860 return in J.

That's a sharp price. Is that the usual sale price for crossing the ditch ex MEL?

I have no idea. A lot of the Y prices on QF were more than the J.

 

[TomVexille]

I have no idea. A lot of the Y prices on QF were more than the J.

They were for the dates I wanted

You can also check LAN J SYD-AKL return.
Fares are quite good if you don't mind the shocking departure time from AKL...

Or the shocking departure time from SYD.

I just checked and for some dates I could see $380.

The dates I had to work with weren't flexible. $380 is fantastic.

9.30am is not too bad. Can stay overnight at Rydges Int then cross the road in the morning for champagne breakfast in the F lounge

 

[blackcat20]

8am out of Melbourne will be fun...

Not as attractive without F lounge access
