Don't know about QF but on NZ there are also some heavily discounted tix from the U.S. to New Zealand, London, the Pacific Islands and Australia for travel agents and a guest providing both are travelling together. Booked into R class [J Class seating except for across the tasman] for US$1499, or N class from $299 for Coach. Not bad considering the lowest published fare for J class LAX-AKL is D3 at US$6733...
