I needed to book a HKG-LHR ticket and the web site was down so I was about to use expedia or what not which was about $520USD one way. I just went to book, and opened up anz.com.hk and it was working, and the fare ended up being only $400USD!!! So of course I booked with ANZ!!! Any idea whats up with this? I am thinking the fuel surcharges. As Expedia was charging some $220 or so and ANZ 900HKD

I posted a thread about this a while back except around the other way!!
It must be something specific between Expedia and ANZ, because with other sites like Zuji etc, the price is the same as ANZ. They must sell the fares in different fare buckets or something.
I booked Expedia on a couple of my flights and saved over $100. I called Air New Zealand to tell them and they denied it was possible- So Oh well...

Well i can make a very good example , i bought a ticket that i reckon saved nearly 3k using expedia ( i have gone back and tried to book it again buts gone) and i use NZ BD site , when i talked to my lady at BD she reckoned it wasnt possible so i sent her the ref and she was a bit surprised,this was my first expedia LH booking and so far so good.....

I've never found a flight cheaper on Expedia than from NZ direct. Seen fares at the same price though.
But I do quite regularly see cheaper fares on Expedia for QF.

to be fair it was 50-50 LH-NZ so i guess that accounts for the point you make. But i couldnt get to fra any other way .
