Having said all that, there have been some quite good discounted business class deals out of the UK recently - just over GBP2,000 IIRC. Zaco might know more.

You called
? In my experience the best J fares available from Europe to NZ are actually the LHR specials on the AirNZ UK website. As mad_atta said, these tend to be around 2,200 pounds (or 1,800 each on a companion fare). Departures from European cities tend to be a little more, although for some strange reason the conditions are better (eg. the cheapest fare ex Germany at the moment is around €3450, GBP2,320 but allows 2 free stops in the Pacific).
I would send an email to AirNZ Europe (
[email protected]) asking what the current J specials are for your dates from all European gateways, but you may find that London is still the cheapest.
Cheers, Zac
