dumping seats Australia to USA
got an email this am, saying Air NZ selling seats east coast Australia to West Coast USA from AUD$729 all inclusive, July to September outside of Australia school holidays.
This must be a record low even for Air NZ. Checked few dates in August & there seems to be plenty of seats at this price. Didn't check kids fare, but it must be around $500.
Are they getting in 1st, as they can see a drop in spending on airfares ex Australia &/or are they getting in before the Australian federal election in May ?
Already consumer & business confidence in Australia has dropped dramatically, on predictions of Labor party winning, which will surely speed up the recession in Australia.
