Default cheap flights to america?

hey dudes!

looking at going over to america in 2 months and im sorting out the flights at the moment, beast deal i have found so far is $2000 with air new zealand but it has a stop over of 13 hours in NZ then over to LAX.
just wondering if $2000 return is a good price or if anyone can recomend a cheap way to get over?

thanks!

luke

$2000 is a bargain and air NZ is meant to be one of the best carriers ex aus to usa.

$2000 is cheap. I was looking at going over in October and the cheapest my mate (a travel agent) could find was $2600. Extend your lay over in NZ to a couple of days. Aukland is a nice place.

^^^ This.

Believe me when I say that the flight sucks from Perth to LAX / SFO. It is so long.

I usually go Qantas from Perth --> Syd --> Bus xfer --> Customs --> then the 12 or 13 hour flight.

A break in Travel is the best thing to do.

When I came back, I went SFO to Hong Kong, small stopover, then onto Singapore for 5 days before back to Perth. It was Awesome as the flight was broken up into an 8 hour, 2 hour, 5 hour journey.

i am flying this Air NZ flight on the 16th of june. 14 hr lay over in Auckland, i dont mind that as i never been to NZ so will head in to the city for some sight seeing.

I booked these flights back in November and paid $1529 return which is dirt cheap and Air NZ is meant to be one of the best airlines. At one stage those flights went down to $1323!!
Checked a week ago and they were about $2300 now

Qantas was having a sale to dallas for $2200 ex perth, check singapore airlines or malaysian, malay should be around 2k, you just missed their sale too.


2k is a pretty standard sorta price, expect to pay that at least during peak season, unless you can get a sale ticket. Qantas/singapore peak time non sale fare is around 2.5k, V Aust and Malaysian airlines seem to be closer to 2k. Air Nz is pretty varied.
