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 struggling International route, in fact its lost most of its NZ/VA flights to ZQN. Hence the sale 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.

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.
