Nz pulls a lot of pax oz/usa & not sure if any of their flights are direct. Nz are invariably $100 or so less than nonstops which seems to work for them. The Chinese & taiwanese carriers are usually cheaper than nz by $60 or so dollars. It's amazing what people eill fo to save a few dollars. Maybe dome psx book online & don't notice yotal transit time ?
