Should earn 100% on AS @ 3.7cpm.
Not bad for an awesome destination, if you can survive SFO-SYD in Y which is not ideal. Fare rules say stopovers allowed 1 free additional $150. But they also say 10 day minimum stay ,which isn't being enforced it doesn't seem.

SFO-CHC/WLG are about $100 more roundtrip with some more availability, I think. Not quite as good of a deal, but if you really want to get to NZ, it's not bad (can also be used as open-jaws with any of CHC/WLG/ZQN if you want to roadtrip between cities).

this is actually a much better deal as those are much more interesting and beautiful parts of NZ. If you are going to NZ and don't leave the area around AKL you are doing yourself a massive disservice

faregeek . Com so I’m running the risk of booking with one of these weird OTAs. But it ticketed after 2 hours
