Air New Zealand Air Points - YOW to Perth via (at least in part) ANZ - cheapest business class fare?

We wish to fly to Perth from YOW in mid-Dec (we have a week booked at a timeshare between Dec 15-22; we may add a few days on either side of this week, so our maximal stay away from home would be 2 weeks). We may spend for 2 business class seats, or 1 business class seat and try to get 1 business class award. What is the best way to get a cheapest business class seat.

I guess that the AMEX Platinum card is NOT the cheapest way - one would get a full fare business class ticket, for the cardholder - even though it may be free for the companion. Of course, the AMEX benefit only applies to ANZ's gateways in North America - ie LAX, SFO, YVR, or HNL.


Does ANZ ever have sales, where is cheapest discounted business class fare is itself significantly discounted ?


What do people think about the circle Pacific pass as the cheapest alternative? As the cheapest nonANZ alternative, I guess I can try the SQ (on its metal only) RTW ticket - perhaps going from EWR to EWR.

Any other options?

Yes, they usually have sales for Christmas/NY time period tickets in business class. You might be able to find something around USD5500 based on my experience.

They seem to push the fare sales around August-September, but the week you're looking at might not fall into the discounted period - it didn't last year (travel between Dec 20 and Jan 25 or so).
