Via Fly4Free there are many US cities to Auckland, New Zealand from the $300s roundtrip with travel available January through September.
Here’s Austin – Auckland searched airfare metasearch site Momondo for $384:
Here’s an availability calendar from Dallas pricing in Euros via Esky, 334 Euros is $399. Here’s an availability calendar for San Francisco. Fly4Free points out Las Vegas, Rapid City, Denver, Phoenix and many other cities you can name from $376.
Flights are on United and Air New Zealand.
Secret Flying meanwhile points out that Australia roundtrips start at $444 which is amazing.
Since we don’t know for certain how airlines will feel about such a deep discount airfare sale, whether they might get seller’s remorse, I’d wait a few days after buying tickets before making additional non-refundable travel plans around the fare.
In theory an airline refusing to honor a sale like this would have to reimburse any out of pocket costs you incurred but there’s not much history with enforcement of that particular DOT statement so I’d still not test it.
This looks like a cyber Monday sale to Auckland,since this fare will expires at midnight.
Act fast,longhaul flight will be on Air New Zealand ))
@ Gary — This would be perfect for getting to AKL for our $900 DL business class tickets, if only I could find upgrade space for our desired dates! No way in hell I’m sitting in coach that long.
Link for SF availability calendar shows no availability. Did I do something wrong?
