Air New Zealand or Singapore Airlines?
Hi everyone, i would like some advice whether to choose between Air NZ and Singapore Airlines on my next trip to New Zealand.
I'm flying to NZ (Wellington) in September and returning in March 2007 and the best fares for me have turned up with either NZ or SQ. The SQ flight can get me to AKL or CHC (via SIN) for 750 pounds and NZ can get me to WLG for 800 pounds. I need a stopover in each direction for at least 1 day to break up the journey. Do i choose NZ and endure LAX (but can go via HKG coming back) or go through SIN?
NZ advantages over SQ are that they can get me all the way to WLG and they have more leg room than SQ. Also i would be able to take more baggage with NZ. Disadvantages are i would have to spend 1 night in LA and more expensive.
However SQ is cheaper (but i would have to buy a separate NZ connecting flight) and i hear Singapore is a good stopover. But there is less legroom than NZ, so what would you all reccommend me to do?
Thanks in advance for your advice
