VA/NZ sale til 2359 Tue 5May from AUD$169 to NZL
BNE/DUD/BNE for only $336 return inc 23kgs checked for most of ski season from late July to mid Sep.
Exhibition Week in BNE based around Exhibition Wed (12AUG) which is a public holiday is busiest week for skiers ex BNE, far busier than school holidays, according to a number of BNE ski shops, as many families go then, as often more reliable snow, than in school holidays.
Some schools seem to have 1 or 2 sports days that week, so kids miss stuff all school.
Counted 140 seats at above fare spread over the 4 flights prior to 12AUG. This is a significant number, average of 35/flight, or about 1/4 of all economy seats. We've studied, airline sales events, both domestic & international, as part of a business plan for an airline & most other sales events we've checked out have from 2 to 9 seats at cheapest fare.

DUD is an hole of an airport that is in an paddock 30 minutes south of Dunedin City. It's an 2-3hour wintry drive to Queenstown, hardly an premium route.

yep DUD is nothing special(it is closest int port to ZQN), but point is loads are awful on many routes & so yield managers do what they all seem to do, dump seats, which leads other to do same. Vicious circle.

1a sound asleep
no such thing as one bus class fare. QF probably has 1/2 dozen, with a huge range of prices.
Cheapest is probably a companion fare or has lots of restrictions, like dates can be used, change fees etc.
Dearest, is use wherever you like, with virtually no restrictions.
