Its all due to Virgin as
Pacificblue starting flights into and out of Christchurch in early March
Yesterday Air NZ were offering CHC-MEL for about NZ$140 including $20 taxes. Looks like QF have matched
Yesterday I looked at one particular day in March for CHC-MEL. QF Au was AU$259, QF NZ web site was NZ$150 on the same flight. I also found this last winter it was cheaper to book in NZ than in Au. (I was going Au-NZ every 3 to 4 weeks)
