EK F at 3400 euro DUB-AKL?! or you mean DXB-AKL?
EK F is an excellent product and if it is true at that price tag, it is well worth it for an A380 ride.
Where do you find these pricing?
Yes, I just booked CVG-SYD(stop)-AKL(dest)-CVG for 150K Skymiles. Availability is there, better than Star Alliance. YQ is high though, $600. There's a thread at the Delta forum about it. For this specific award I bought miles at 1 cent a piece using the transfer bonus.
EK F: yes, it's a launch special for the DUB route. TA bookings only, i.e.
here. SYD is 3665 and AKL is 50 Euro cheaper -- may as well go to AKL since the plane stops in SYD anyway! Agree, DXB-SYD would be a nice ride, including using those showers! A nice once in a lifetime vacation.
