Hi Everyone, Our actual travel dates are not in the system yet as we are hoping to travel out around 12th/13th December and return around 8th January 2014.
This will be our third visit and we are concentrating mainly on the lower half of south island apart from Blenheim for the wine and Kaikoura for whale watch. We had to cut short our last visit.We were in Wanaka on NY's eve last December when we heard that my husband's father had died suddenly in UK and we had to return.Hence we have 'unfinished business' in the country.
We have used Apex for our car rental and taken the car on the ferry,last time at no cost for the vehicule.We were hoping to not have to take the ferry next time and just focus on the south but I am having to be very open to suggestions here.
Flying with Singapore would be great but we wouldn't get the Avios or tier points we are hoping for.There is a Cathay Pacific flight into Auckland but again I am not sure about the points.In theory we should get them as they are One World but I am not 100% sure about this.We could then just get a NZ flight down to Nelson and a return from Christchurch. Our itinerary is such that we really need to fly out of Christchurch but could be flexible as to where we fly in .
I can't actually book anything anyway until late January when the return flights show up so I have time to research.
