$248 is pretty fucking cheap. Where's you's gonna stay?

[[NIUE] BIRRY WONG]

Thats gonna be the sting I reckon. Not sure.

[Rorooze]

Fuck less than $300 dollar flights. I'm pretty keen :O Might see if I can get the missus to get me the flights for my birthday >_< Who else is 100% going?

[Lennysaurus]

You guys have to add the airport tax to those flights which will be another 150 at least.

[zos'la]

I thought the tax is like ermm $20? or am I living 10 years back? LOL

[HoneyBadger]

NZ tax is like 50. Aus is around 150. it should still be under or around 300 if you do the plain seat + bag

[zos'la]

umm this is all included, the ones without the X on the bag icon...

[[NIUE] BIRRY WONG]

They include departure tax in ticket prices now if you're leaving from Auckland airport. Auckland airport changed to this system back in 2008. Anywhere else in the country its an extra $25. Not sure where you got the $150 from Len.

Basically, those prices are it.

[[NIUE] BIRRY WONG]

Upon researching it looks like that since July last year, departure tax is now included in ALL ticket prices across the country. So noone has to worry about it now at all.

[zos'la]

Yup, last year when I went over the prices all included tax... so I also didn't know what that $150 is from... xD

[CaptainHook]

If you actually click an option on that page bill showed it will add airport tax etc into the price..

So:

[[NIUE] BIRRY WONG]

If they're going to make it compulsory to include that cost in ticket prices, then they should be showing that shit up front goddammit. But that makes sense as to where Lenny pulled the $150 from. Fucking last time i read a government website and believe it.

Anyway, thats still only $396 if you include food and a movie, and like $60 less if you just take seat+bag. Which is still pretty damn affordable.

I reckon we do this shit. Who else is keen?

Like, ACTUALLY keen. Not Dave "Say your keen and then don't say anything else until after the thing has finished" Keen.

The "fine" print at the bottom of the page:

Fares exclude applicable airport & government costs, which are shown after fares are selected in the Total Cost panel on this page. Additional costs cannot be paid with Airpoints Dollars. Bookings are not complete or accepted by Air New Zealand until payment has been received and a booking reference number has been issued.

The "fine" print at the bottom of the page:

Fine print. Pfff. If I read that, I wouldn't have anything to complain about. Pick your game up Hook. This shit isn't good enough.

[CaptainHook]

p.s $400 return on AirNZ isn't bad... they're much better than Qantas or Virgin etc..
Good inflight entertainment systems..

I was AirNZ return last month when i went to melbs.
