The total fares CHC -> LAX -> CHC for 5 adults and 1 child was less than $7k. Stop-over in Sydney on the way over and Brisbane coming back. The Brisbane stop over is quite long so will allow us a day out to catch up with friends.

The only reason I booked Air NZ AKL-LAX for Novemeber was to use my RU's for a business upgrade. Paid $1600 return for 1, could have booked VA AKL-SYD-LAX-SYD-AKL on the exact same dates for $799 return.
