Air New Zealand Air Points - ADL-AKL booked from NZ

Hi,

I presume there us no way round having this priced in A$ and then converted to NZ$. This leg seems to be carrying a premium compared with booking it round trip from NZ.

It converts the price to NZD if you book ADL-AKL on .co.nz.

True. However, as I understand it, the OP is seeing more expensive fares ex AU than those ex NZ. Sadly this is how NZ price their regular fares on the tasman ... commercially they think they can get a higher effective fare from the Aussies than the Kiwi's!!!

It's a captive market I guess.

Back when I would be chasing *E most of my T-T fares were booked ex NZ, even though I live in Oz. Average saving was around 25% ...

I have been looking into London return in the next 2 months, Air NZ are offering cheap bus and PE to NZ coming into our spring/summer?

I am looking at buying a oneway fare from NZ and then buy my return ticket on the UK site for the return journey, will save a lot! (British passport)

Why is this so :confused: Down to numbers/volume of traffic?

Differing markets have different levels of demand and competition.
