Redeemed a round trip award for SFO-AKL.

Still open to redepositing and redeeming an award to Oz if there's some compelling reason for Oz over NZ.

But the main thing is to redeem when Saver awards are available.

Actually, I mentioned Nelson but I meant Dunedin and the SW coastal area of the SI, like Slope Point. Long drive from Queenstown and CHC so I wonder if it would be better to fly and pick up rental in Dunedin.

Worth going out of the way from the more popular cities?
