Australia, New Zealand & the South Pacific - UA web fare, MSP-SYD usd$860+taxes&fees=$993.50

I have been watching fares to AU and NZ for a long time on my yahoo fare tracker, and the fare itself from MSP is usually well above usd$ 1,000. Here's a chance to get there for a great price.

The best Quantas fare I can find, BEFORE taxes and fees, is 1203+

Very good deal. What fare class does this book in, do you know?

Yup, really good deal if one has time to go to Australia. Weather will be great too. Looks like they're trying to get rid of those empty seats.
