Cow Cockie Early Birds


Tues 6 May 3am-7am

Our recent promotion seemed right as rain but Jenny from Canterbury thought it was unfair that our deals were only available during office hours.

"What about farmers?" she cried

We had a chin wag and came up with something for our farming friends.

The deals will be available before you take the girls to the shed at prices that are as good as gold.
Are these running every Tuesday now?

seems so, although today they added CHC-BNE later on (which I missed because it wasn't listed earlier in the day)

I'd have thought you would have set up SMS alerts to be sent to you on deal additions ...

No point. If I'm in meetings, flying, etc no access to them anyway.

Not very attractive so far. 1599 for all these. Not a high number of seats either (under 100 on each route), so no real prospect of a super cheap fare unless more seats get added through the day.

Agree. Doesn't look promising.

My last LHR-SIN-AKL-SIN-LHR was around NZ$1820 including tax on SQ.... and earned 2 x 2399k miles with BMI....

So not worth a look for me....

If I remember right my last AKL-LAX grab a seat was NZ$499?

They've done it before on domestic grab-a-seat. Of course the seats all sold out before the fare got ridiculously low.
