What is the cheapest way to get from Auckland, New Zealand to Sydney, Australia?

Question

I've checked a bunch of airlines and websites (expedia, etc.) and flights are still really expensive. Is there a cheaper way?

Answer 1

There are some awesome deals on www.statravel.com.au - you don't have to be a student, but it's nicer to you if you're at least under-26 (and you will need a card for $18). Check Flight Centre as well. Right now Jetstar is selling tickets for about $160.

I'm going to have to agree with the others here - the flights to and from NZ are cheaper than ever, so I'm not sure which sites you've been looking at but clearly not the right ones!

Have fun!

Answer 2

Aerolineas Argentinas all the way! They're THE cheapest airline serving AKL-SYD route, If you don't care much about the in-flight service "It's just 3 hrs. hop!" I highly recommend them, You can book online but you have to pick up your ticket from a travel agency, I know it's inconvenient but that's the only way they do it down here.

Bon Voyage! :)

Answer 3

The cheapest way is by foot

Answer 4

Yes - swim.

Well? You said.. THE CHEAPEST!

How cheap do you want the flight? These days - they are as cheap as they will ever be.

Answer 5

How much is too much for you?

Virgin in NZ was advertising $39 fares yesterday across the Tasman.  (read it on stuff.co.nz)

Generally on a good day the average fare is about $240 one way.

They also  have happy hours prices at lunch time.

Check them out.

--- NOTE---  Just remember when looking at some airline sites - they do not show the full fare to the next page eg) add on taxes, so even if you see a fare for $160, it might be another $100 on top of that for tax(s).
