I know - I know - I keep looking at it and thinking Can I?? Can I???

If I could combine Oz with it I think I might.

Tell me about it LN! I just got a job offer YESTERDAY after a 9 month sabbatical. I've been a traveling maniac this year, but still haven't gotten it out of my system. Then this morning I get this special via email, and now I feel sick....

I guess I have to be responsible and start work though...:(

Any chance that there's going to be a deal like this 6 months from now? (people who normally look at these prices? Does it trend that way?)

I remember Alan posted a fare like this to Oz about a year, year and a half ago. I haven't seen anything like it since...

You never know with fares...

Can Qantas be far behind?

I don't know - I've been on their list for a couple years now and this has got to be one of the best. Worst thing about it is that it's only a three week window to be there - I'd like to go for a longer time!!!!

You mean you have to go BACK to work Mina?? sad isn't it? but somebody has to do it, including me.

We are anxious to go back and especially to OZ but we'd like to stay for two months - or maybe 3. Then I'd have to find some really reasonable places to stay over there.

Yes, I have to go back to work. :( But this new company is doing a background check on me. If they find out about my criminal activities, and rescind the offer, I'm going to New Zealand! ;)

Three weeks would have been fine for me. I just spent 4 months in Europe, and think it would be unwise to blow ALL my money on travel!

How do you know we might not let you in here ha ha!!!
What do Air NZ think they are doing, what is good for the goose should be good for the gander and give us the fare also, in reverse of course!!

I agree Kathy...you guys don't seem to get good fare breaks on your end!

You are so right, we don't get much in the way of bargain prices. We are just incredulous at the prices of Easyjet etc, who I have used in Europe, for $50NZ there, we would pay $399NZ here, guess it's our small population but that's becoming a bit of a tired excuse these days. Virgin Blue are starting up soon evidently so that might reduce prices to Oz hopefully.
Anyway, hope you can take advantage, it doesn't happen too often.

dear crazy mina i just want to thank you. last year we got this fare and i'd been checking air new zealand's website compulsively for a repeat. when 9/11 came and went, i gave up all hope. but thanks to YOU i saw it again and am now returning to the most beautiful place on earth. thank you thank you thank you! great job!

ps yes everybody who is interested, qantas is matching it as well. with taxes it works out to $551 r/t...only online and purchase by september 24...but there are plenty of dates left and no i don;t work for them i just wnt to encourage everyone who hasn't to go to these beautiful places!
