Check the fare on expedia.com.au or Lan (US site)....you will find that it costs around AUD$750 on the first site, and just under USD$700 on the second (there is a 10% sale on the Lan website at moment).
Thanks for the info. Wow! what a difference to the $1230 on the lan.com.au site (& where it was $700 this time last year.)
Busy looking into fares & ?MR to maybe do the DO in NZ mid December.
