I'm having a look around at the moment for return flights to NZ from London, leaving late Feb & coming back early March.

The quotes I have been receiving are around £900.00 including tax. Is this the going rate?

Does anyone have some cheaper alternatives?
[quote]
u could probably book it cheaper from the other end
also check www.statravel.co.uk that usually have some good deals
i just did a search, cheapest one was 691 quid

I went back beginning of Feb and it cost me £1300 (all direct flights though), so if you can do it for £900 I say do it.

Yea u have to fly back through sydney its a few more hours travelling time, but for the sake of a few hundy quid its probably worth it ?

Well, when I say direct I mean it was via Sydney. Did a search around and the only way I could get cheaper was to have around 3 or 4 stop-overs which I wasn't willing to do.

Just found a flight for around £500 not sure about taxes though
[quote]
taxes are about 200 quid, so its much of a muchness

What about those one's they have in the TNT that are around the £500 mark?

What is the deal with those?

back in feb this year, i flew 'direct' via dubai, singapore, brisbane.. 30-45min stops in each. i booked only a month or so in advance and paid around £840.. but i've been looking now to return next feb and you can definately get it for around £700.. it doesn't really get much chdaper than your ticket baynesy.. who did you go through? STA?

i usually use flightcentre.. they're pretty good at finding the cheapest airline..

i even managed to find a £680 flight to leave within 2 days last week (i was planning to go back for my nan's funeral Sad )

but this time, because i've got 27000 emirates airpoints, it would be silly not to fly with them.. im a silver card member don't you know!

i even have the option of flying business class (ok, only for one leg) but im stoked about that! leaving the boy behind in economy because he didn't get off his arse to sort the membership. hee hee.

I know you can get a United flight for around £600 via Washington DC and onto LA. Not the quickest way obviously but depends on whether you want to save money or get there quickly.

there are heaps of sites here for travel. Try www.travelsupermarket.com (bit like zuji but better). They will check heaps of websites for you for flights.
Also...ummm expedia.co.uk

Imaprincess - Will be making a decision this week on who to go for. Orginally www.statravel.co.uk seemed like the cheapest option, but I reckon www.travelsupermarket.com may have just snuck in there!!!!!!!

Thanks for all these recommendations guys. This is excellent help.
