Ok so Ive done some digging and have more details for you all.. My friend is a NZ*S and those rates were grossed up.. What they actually paid was as follows.
AKLSYD $265.00
SYDRAR $225.00
RARAKL $175.00
Also asked why they didn't just buy QF business class special fare.
It was because Air NZ fly direct from SYD to RAR and QF dont. Also they said that QF was $2400 AKLSYDAKL yet Air NZ was only $1065.00 economy class (AKL/SYD/RAR/AKL) and then they paid $665 for upgrades. So this means a total cost of $1730.00 which is still way cheaper than a QF business class tkt just to SYD and back.
They also wanted to get the status points on Air NZ and all the flights were on Long haul aircraft but apparently QF only use 737s? They said they had a 777-300 AKLSYD a 767 SYDRAR and 777-200 RARAKL...
All the flights were in the first two weeks of August..
Hope this answers some of your questions..
