SYD/BNE/MEL from $69oneway

Probably the craziest Tasman sale ever? With AKL-MEL as low as $69!

I just booked AKL-BNE-AKL for $220 return! Ironically hight lights how much taxes there on the Tasman (with the return air grate being $14+Taxes)

I've just booked Sydney for $219 each return, as a surprise lunch for the missus at Bondi Icebergs. Always threatened to do a day trip, over on the 7.00 am and back on the 7.10 pm! Sweet deal.

For my MEL-CHC-MEL flights I pay real taxes (on average) for MEL-CHC AUD$113.81, of which $60 is an Au departure tax and for CHC-MEL NZ$54.54.
At NZ$69 there is not much left for Air NZ

AKL-BNE-AKL

Fare: $14.90
Taxes/Surcharges: 65.40WY 7.00WG 34.98KK 16.32IA 20.11F1 62.60AU
Credit Card Fee: $14.20

At least they made nice profit on the credit card fee, being an master card the typically rate is 1.5% which would of been $3.30 ($10.90 Profit)

$20 return plus taxes...

less $AP 2 - sweet deal indeed :)

No good deals from Wgtn. Most residents being on one form or another of taxpayer funding I guess not surprising. Pricing up a trip to take advantage of these great fares from here looks like around $1200 min for a couple, or a bit less on fares but an overnight in Auks. Slightly cheaper to do Y only with no RU or APD upgrade possibility direct. ☹️

Watch the return to NZ from Oz
 

Booked a few one way to OZ .
Now I will wait for the Airnz, virgin or Qantas sale for the return :-)

Don't know if they will get much cheaper than they are ex Australia than they are now.

Example BNE-AKL is on sale for $136AUD at the moment.
Airfare: $9.44
Tax: $127.65

Don't think they could go much lower than that with taxes...

Plenty of crazy pricing to SYD ex WLG.

WLG-BNE already had capacity slashed a few weeks ago to 3x weekly so I'm assuming loads are still OK as a result.

WLG-MEL has also seen flights cut and apparently doesn't have excess capacity.

Ex CHC and AKL it's a bloodbath with tourist numbers tanking, particularly Asian tourists who travel to AU and then head to NZ. Those people don't fly in or out of WLG.

Super cheap flights
 

Much appreciated your comment.
I read the news comments complaining about the return fares not being being cheap...and like a bull in a China shop I booked one flights
Anyway I have book return fares and cancelled the one way's.
Many thanks caveman
