Cost of travel to lax

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 difference is not always so great
I brought a flight to lax (for next month) and the difference between airnz and virgin was $49 return (airnz $1000 virgin $1049)
Managed to get the sectors upgraded to PE as A class was available
