This seems okay, esp. the Australian legs but, wow, sticker shock at the taxes/surcharges across the Tasman.
Try booking this on the airnz.com (US) site rather than the .nz or .au sites. Often the taxes & fees come out significantly cheaper. However, the US site unfortunately does not allow you to choose what fare class you are booking.
