[CA] Nov 11-12 & & 24-27 - FRA/MUC-AU/NZ - about EUR 1500

Note: title amended as promotion extended for Black Friday

Note that the advertised fare is not correct - it is about EUR 1500 to both Oz and Kiwiland.

Books into R inventory, that still earns e.g.125% in TK program.

My receipt shows (2 tickets to AKL) EUR 1465.98 per person (including taxes and fees).

PS. In theory the deal is also out of DUS, but I didn't see any availability whatsoever...

Great find, thanks!

I could find AKL ex FRA via Shanghai and AKL ex MUC via Beijing for +/- €1,280 next August. I'd love to stopover in China but suspect that may not be allowed, and by the time I've checked, the deal may be finished.

Fares variously in D, Z and R. D and Z seem to get 200% in M&M, R gets 0% in M&M.

Must hurry.

One should credit this to A3 or TK.

Could be fun to fly on the upper deck of the 747.

Reasons?

If you're already collecting with Miles & More, for example, surely it's better to credit M&M (or whatever).

Several other alternatives. Check at wheretocredit.com .

Could you please indicate any dates? I'm trying to find something in August 2018 but I find only 1465 EUR.
1280 EUR would be so much nicer

R class on CA gets you 0 miles on M&M. Zilsch, nada, nix, rien.

Slightly OT - I don't know what your plans are but once I experienced snow in CHC in August and road to ZQN was closed. We had to re-plan the whole trip...

Yes, I'm aware of weather in NZ in August but I treat AKL this time only as a base for trip to South Pacific islands
If I find flights for EUR 1280, it'll be great

What a great idea. I just started thinking what we should do in NZ - I was there already like 4 times.

BTW - I recall from previous trip NZ has a dedicated page for promotional offers: https://grabaseat.co.nz/flights

I used it previously and it worked nice. You can sign in and request to be added to the mailing list.

Just checked and apparently it works also for flight + hotel packages...

In the end, I didn't book, having checked on NZ climate in winter.

When pricing, I selected a 14-day round trip, coming back at the end of the valid period. A helpful display showed variations of departure and return dates, similar to the LH website, and I clicked favourable ones, something like Aug 4 out and Aug 18 back However, most fares were €4,000+.

I guess it's an availability factor now.

Worth pointing out that open-jaws work as well.

Just booked FRA-PVG-MEL / SYD-CTU-FRA for €1498 over Easter 2018.

Lots of availability still there for AKL from May onwards when I checked

PVG and PEK are quite OK in terms of transfer. i would say CTU is kind of a nightmare. so please be prepared.
