Bargain! Air New Zealand today announced a $600-off code for business flights to North America. I tried this code for their economy fares, and bingo, it works for San Francisco!! Plenty of seats across different dates.

Test dates I used for these fares for all 3 departure points:

Depart Nov 18 2014, Return Dec 5 2014.

All flights include 23kg checked baggage, 7kg carry-on bag, meal & drinks, on-demand entertainment.

For Travel:
17 Nov to 16 Dec 2014
23 Dec to 31 Dec 2014
12 Jan to 15 Mar 2015

Sale ends 24th Oct 2014. Happy travels :)

    Wow this is a bargain. I don't think Jetstar would even partially refund my startfare flight to NZ though. Should I just forfeit this and go to SF? Damn!!

    If the code isnt correct for the fare, you might find AirNZ invalidates the bookings or charges you more.

    I hope they dont but given other "code error" deals here like ezibuy just dont be surprised.

    Wishing you luck, and to the brave go the spoils…

    • uder on 08/10/2014 - 11:09

      If they invalidate then no loss. I don't believe they could increase the charges without your consenting to a higher price.

      I wasnt down voting the deal. Just alerting people to a possibility.

      I know some will not agree that this possibility might exist, but down voting the comment takes away an alert that might be important for some.

      I am not against the deal, if I could afford to do the trip I would go for it.

      It's not like missing out on your free underwear if it gets cancelled, its all the associated issues with holiday bookings that can be affected. These are risks you need to consider.

      How about voting down this comment to show displeasure rather than the warning.

    Is this one way 860 or return 860 ? when ever I enter any return dates it comes out to like 2.1K?

      It's return, as it's clearly stated in the title. Did you apply the code?? (BIZ600)

          @Duram:
          Ah? What are you on about Duram? The $845 in the screenshot is the total fare. You don't double it.

    • Lukian on 08/10/2014 - 11:17

      I'm also getting flights in this range (with promo code applied), but the dates I want are december.

      The latest outbound date for the deal flights seems to be nov 22.

      • tightarse on 08/10/2014 - 11:32

        Lukian, give me the dates you want and I'll look them up. Are you following the travel dates in the post? The ones you want may not be available. Have you tried 2015?

          I've checked most of the range, the ideal dates seem to be:

    Is this fare, fully refundable?

    • Lukian on 08/10/2014 - 11:46

      The flexi rank is (more expensive), just continue to the second page of booking to see the options.

    • Growlingdog on 08/10/2014 - 11:54

      As long as you upgrade to the Economy Flexi up from the Economy Saver.

      Price difference between the two options for example are $400 -> $1200

    • MelbBargainChaser77 on 08/10/2014 - 14:42

      No. $500 cancelation fee I believe

          from conditions of carriage:

          3.3 COUPON SEQUENCE AND USE
          3.3.1 The Ticket will not be honoured and will lose its validity if all the Coupons are not used in the sequence provided in the Ticket.
          3.3.2 The Ticket may not be valid and we may not honour the Ticket if the first Flight Coupon, or in the case of an Electronic Ticket, an Electronic Coupon has not been used and the passenger commences his or her journey at any Stopover or Agreed Stopping Place.

          http://www.airnewzealand.com.au/article-3-tickets

          It's a pretty standard clause for most airlines - they see it as an abandonment of journey and will cancel the ticket and all onward travel.

    If you book Mel - San Fran in 13 Feb to 1 Mar, it comes out at $874 using the promo code BIZ600.

    However, I think you guys might get your tickets cancelled. On their website, that promo code is for BUSINESS CLASS flights. There is a separate promo code for economy class flights, which is NAM300. And with this code, you get $300 off.

    So worst case scenario, is they maybe will give you a choice of cancelling or pay an extra $300, which is still very cheap.

    Best case scenario, they accept their system stuff up for not doing proper validity checks, and you get that price ;)

    Either way, the only dates I could travel were the December ones, and there's no more discounts for travel on 23rd to 31st :(

    Edit: Their T&C's of the offer don't talk about their right to cancel a sale once completed, so if you book in, you may have a good chance of keeping the lower price with the BIZ600. Though technically, using that for economy is against their T&C's. So don't book accommodation until you know your ticket isn't cancelled.

    • 1968 on 08/10/2014 - 14:40

      Is it really that cheap with only $300 off? $600 off seems very good but $1150 to san fran doesn't seem THAT great..
