Hi guys
As title suggests. For some context - I made the rookie error of deciding last minute to travel to NZ for Xmas/New years and visit family (yay for free accom).
Given the premium travel time of the year flights are approx $700+.
-I've already considered flying in & out of AKL but the cost saving isn't much and will be negated by having to hire a car to drive down to WLG.
-no QFF flights available late December.
-already planning to travel on xmas day as it's cheaper than the prior couple of days
-already looking at 2 different airlines in order to get the best prices on specific dates
Am I missing any other way to OzB or do I just have to suck it up given the premium'ness of holiday time travel?
It just hurts given that NZ flights are usually less than half of $700 throughout the year :(
I booked my SYD-WLG tickets about a month ago for $650 with AirNZ. Flying on Christmas day made it almost $100 cheaper. Tried many options, but ultimately s#cked it up and booked :$
Waiting for my Bankwest zero Platinum card to book the rental though. Apparently, if I don't manage to prepay at least $500 on that card I don't get the complimentary insurance :)
