I'm at work so I have to keep the volume all the way down, but I love it already!

HI there, I am trying to get my next RTW booked so that I can attend the OZ fest--so is it AKL or CHC or somewhere in between? I may have to book into AKL and then buy some other connecting flights if the venue is not fixed yet.

It would be nice to know where one is landing, though, if they plan on arriving at OzFest the day before. Doesn't make sense to land in Auckland on Thursday just to pay to fly somewhere else on Friday, when I would like to spend some time in Auckland. I'd need to pay not only to leave there but to get back. I'd like to fly right into the event a day ahead from the U.S. I've seen potential flight options disappear already because I don't know where I'm flying to and can't book. The longer it takes the more likely I'll be in coach again one or both directions.
It seems it's taking longer to decide "where" we are going this year than in the past. It's been three months since we left Ayers Rock. How much more time is needed to decide a location for 2015?

I too have have already booked into and out of Auckland bracketing that weekend.
Fortunately, travel within NZ can be reasonably inexpensive - and it's only a relatively short flight to/from most places.
All that's required is a venue!
