A great deal to New Zealand. Not a lot of availability, but if you can make it work, enjoy.
We recommend you wait for the e-ticket number (it will be 13 digits and start with 081) to come via email, then wait a little bit more before making any prepaid arrangements. In addition, we recommend you use AA to connect to this if you are coming from other cities. Oneworld, which Qantas and AA are part of will protect you in cases of irregular operation (mechanical, weather etc) even if you are on two separate tickets.

Success! Received 081 ticket number for ticket from 9/14 to 9/28 for $308! Thank you TFD!
@Angie – nice. have a great trip.
Picked up August 17-22 for a whirlwind 2.5 day trip. Ready to skydive over the snowy mountains! Thanks for this deal!
@Joel – nice. have a great trip.
Hey TFD! First of thanks for all your great work!
Re this deal, Is there a way I avoid having to complete the last leg of the journey? i.e. stay in Sydney? or does that void the ticket?
Thanks again!
@Soogs – you skip anything but the last leg and the rest of your itinerary will be cancelled.
Can you say more or point me to a resource about protection for separate tickets in case of IRROPS? I’ve looked and can’t find any documentation. Do I need to link my tickets somehow? I have an AS connection from the last NZ sale.
@Jonathan: AA changed their site and our bookmark to the page doesnt load anymore. Here’s Gary Leff’s write up on it – http://viewfromthewing.boardingarea.com/2015/07/13/flying-on-separate-tickets-heres-when-youre-protected-if-flights-go-wrong/
You’re the best. Thanks!
