Airfare from Los Angeles to London Heathrow on Air New Zealand

Am looking at travel to London April 2017 from Los Angeles and Air New Zealand has a price of $694 round trip/Non stop...this seems like a good price but have not been watching the price trends . Can anyone tell me if this is a good deal?? Have never flown ANZ....is it a good flight??

Air NZ is a great airline, but pretty squishy in coach. If you can swing it, I highly recommend their Premium Economy service - awesome. You should also look into their One Up program, which gives you the opportunity to bid on upper classes yet not pay the full price. I think you have to be a member of their Air Points program to submit a bid, but it's easy enough to join.

Barring that, choose your seats wisely and maybe pay the $50-75 more for a slightly better seat - check the seating configuration t can find these on their site.

LAX to London should be a piece of cake though compared to the flights I've taken from LAX and SFO to Auckland!

I've flown them many, many times, but not to London - $694 seems a very good deal to me. Book it!

you can say that again!

If there are similar savings in other cabins -- I'd definitely consider it.

Have used them to fly LAX to NZ and onward to Australia but only in Business Class and was pleased.

FWIW, you might want to THINK about other passenger comments regarding the NZ seating on sites like seatguru.com BUT, be VERY aware of the subjectivity factor.

You can also go to YouTube and look at NZ in-flight videos which can be very useful, too.

I really like Air New Zealand; we've flown with them twice to New Zealand, as well as the LAX to LHR route in 2007. I think you'll enjoy the flight.
