Flights in December
 

As the fellas visa hasn't come through yet and isn't likely to until end of Jan, I thought I'd head across to NZ early basically cause I couldn't stand to thought of another winter in the UK.
Now, I know a few of you are looking at flying over around December too, but have you actually looked at the price of the tickets???? :eek: MY GOD!!! :eek:

fly from the 1st Dec and you instantly pay a couple of hundred quid more, (£600-800 for a ticket) which I spose is ok, but forget about flying the other half out for Xmas leaving the Uk on the 15th dec and returning 5th Jan cost £4,000!!!!!
Please, if anyone has found a superdooper cheap flight website, let me know!!!

Flights over christmas to anywhere is always expensive, I'm looking at the sailing shop route like Cook did. :)

I had a brief look at the sites that i used to book mine, Xmas is the peak period of the year of course, and the dates you quoted are probably the peak days in the peak period (2-3 weeks hol). I could find 770 GBP leaving 11 Dec returning 18 Jan from London, AirNZ Special offer), Maybe you can ask AusTravel , if there are any Round The World tickets 880 GBP (using AirNZ) available for those dates on 0870 166 2020 , they may keep extra seats for RTW tickets. I fly from Amsterdam, i saw Singapore airlines single flight for 350 ish pounds, but at the start of December.
There are good bargains on www.austravel.com , the AirNZ special offers are on the www.airnewzealand.co.uk (click on web specials)
Have you seen my post about emigrating using Low Cost Airlines for 225 + Tax ? It takes a few days but very cheap via HK, Singapore, Darwin to AKL

You would have to have return tickets to get in/out of aus/nz
