    Hmmm almost worth it for trs purposes…..

    Does anyone know if I could buy this or similar cheap one way ticket to enter security at Sydney airport claim trs but then exit the airport without actually taking the flight? Or by that stage would I have to be checked in and they call my name of the speakers etc etc

      I can't imagine why anyone would want to manipulate the system like that, but that's just me.

    • Scab on 08/06/2017 - 07:36

      I want to buy this so I can wander around the airport and appear on Australian Border Protection on TV.

    • strawberrybug on 08/06/2017 - 07:46

      they don't check for a boarding pass at the immigration 'gate' or at security screening…

    • [Deactivated] on 08/06/2017 - 07:46

      Customs already know that trick (people used to buy refundable tickets & try to stock up on booze/ciggies/etc or do a drug pickup). But it'll probably will land you on a tv show with @scab

      But yeah you need a boarding pass to get through security in the first place and a passport to get through customs/border farce, then into dutyfree.

      The best plan I heard was getting one of those domestic flights which land in international, then convince someone off an international flight to buy the goods for you (with cash), then exit flashing your domestic boarding pass bypassing customs. (as you need to show your boarding pass & passport, which they enter into the POS terminal, to buy stuff IIRC).

      Is it really worth all that effort? Just get a job or a payrise.

      • chillybags on 08/06/2017 - 09:14

        It was more a thought experiment - wasnt actually going to do it.

    Just wondering how much are food/accom prices in NZ compared to Aus?

    • atrorz on 08/06/2017 - 08:02

      pretty equivalent …. the thing that I found noticeably more expensive was petrol - about 2$ a litre when I went about 3 years ago

      • geoffs87 on 08/06/2017 - 08:34

        yep, still is around that price.

        Everything seems to be pretty on par with australia, except for ice cream, thats dirt cheap over there!

        • ChatCPT on 08/06/2017 - 09:08

          $2.08 last week, single malts were really cheap though

          @havok44: mmm heading over in a couple months, will have to check out the whiskeys.

          I will be honest though, i was talking ice creams… i thought you wrote single melts :)

      • maxplanck on 08/06/2017 - 10:48

        It seems it is a different personal injury insurance model in NZ compared with Au - the CTPI component of rego is much cheaper (as are rental cars) relative to ours. Ostensibly, the premium paid on NZ petrol is funnelled into CTPI coffers which effectively means a more egalitarian user-pays system. This is based on my observations rather than researching any annoying facts but, if im right, it seems a much fairer system. I also found that fresh fruit and veg (in Christchurch, at least) is quite expensive. Accommodation in shoulder season is quite a bit cheaper than peak.

      Fush is more expensive.

      • zathras on 08/06/2017 - 10:44

        what about the price of chups?

    • shonofear on 08/06/2017 - 08:47

      i find food accomo more pricey, and yes fuel currently $1.90- ish but the liquor is cheaper so makes up for some

      We did a family holiday in January of this year, touring around the South Island (Te Anau - Dunedin - Tekapo - Christchurch - Franz Josef - Queenstown) and found pretty much everything to be more expensive than Australian prices. In particular we found food to be a LOT more expensive than what we are used to in Melbourne. This goes for your basic supermarket items like milk, cereals, fruit etc.

      It actually took us a bit by surprise and we ended up using our Australian credit cards for a couple of minor excursions later in the trip just to ensure we had enough NZ money to get us through.

      The petrol price difference is well known to be a lot different from Australia, so be aware of this if doing a lot of driving.

      As for accommodation, we used a travel agent (Travel Counsellours Australia) who got some pretty good rates compared to what we could get online. Not that it's any use for this post, but they also got us cheaper flights with additional baggage allowance.

      As for the holiday? Mind blowing. We loved the place and would go back there for a holiday in a heartbeat.

      For anyone reading this doing a driving holiday the best tip I could give you is to download an app called 'Campermate'. I have lost count of the number of amazing places we visited off the main roads due to that app. Disused tunnels with glowworms, beaches with seals scattered across them, views to catch the best sunset etc. One of the funniest things the app gave us was between Te Anau and Dunedin (near Waihola?) there is a fence with thousands of old shoes attached. Our kids thought that was hilarious.

        What was wrong with the seals?

        If you shop at the discount supermarket Pac N' Save groceries seem to be on-par or even cheaper than Australia.

        I found food to be more expensive, but produce are of a higher quality. especially seafood (compared to Melbourne)

      • [Deactivated] on 08/06/2017 - 14:15

        Thank so much. I just downloaded campermate. It's pretty good

    • dtra on 08/06/2017 - 10:30

      It's more or less the same, but from my perspective, but you don't get nice lakes and mountains here like you do there.

    • downhillmtbr on 08/06/2017 - 23:46

      Domines NZ is the cheapest dominoes in the world !

  • dtra on 08/06/2017 - 10:16

    Just went to Queenstown in May on the last sale, beautiful as always, this sale slightly more expensive but still pretty good value.

  • StrayfireX on 08/06/2017 - 10:17

    Is there anything worth buying in NZ?

      Experience and the majestic scenery…

    • dtra on 08/06/2017 - 10:31

      Go and see for yourself, I'm pretty sure you'll find something…
      Warm clothes are pretty good I would think.

    I was in Christchurch for my honeymoon in Feb 2011 and I'm still scarred. When I see these deals it brings back bad memories

    • maxplanck on 08/06/2017 - 11:00

      The 'CBD' is still quite confronting even today

    • attfiecz2 on 08/06/2017 - 11:12

      Want to talk about it?

      • eneloop on 08/06/2017 - 11:19

        Sweet as bro, I've done all the talking but still gets to me sometimes

  • stargalaxy on 08/06/2017 - 11:33

    Been to North Island once and South Island twice, hire a car and drive. It is a really nice drive as there are not that many traffics and the scenery is very nice. I found price is comparable to here except for fuel. Anyone not been to NZ should definitely give it a go.

  • MrMaestro on 08/06/2017 - 11:57

    What's the deal with Jetstar only flying once a day MEL-AKL? Trying not to cannibalise seats from Qantas?

  • Almost Banned on 08/06/2017 - 13:19

    Jetstar's website tells me "We don't have any sales from Perth today".
    Would love to go to NZ for a visit but never get any good deals…

  • su27km on 08/06/2017 - 13:32

    anyone see any special in Jan 2018 from Syd to NZ? i don't see any too good one. all around $300 return.

  • lainey13 on 08/06/2017 - 14:14

    Unfortunately I hear the AUD is on par with NZD. Previously AUD was worth more so NZ was a bit cheaper to visit but now no more.

  • apprentice on 08/06/2017 - 14:58

    Thanks TA. Booked for March 18. Hopefully AUD picks up by then.

  • sloba on 08/06/2017 - 16:21

    Any good deals from Perth To Queenstown included here? Maybe leveraging off a flight from one of the eastern states to ZQN?
