persil Posted March 5, 2010 Report Share Posted March 5, 2010 Time for the regular pilgrimage back home to NZ. Looked at Thai website, quoted me 40K WTF? Tried www.bestflihts.com.au, even more expensive. Anyone here have any better suggestions? Or suggestions for a reliable cheapflights website?

robaus Posted March 5, 2010 Report Share Posted March 5, 2010 Try Massic Travel website. It's a Pattaya based agency but fares are comparable with what's on offer in BKK. Gives you some ideas anyway. http://www.massictravel.net/promofares/?AUSTRALIA%2FNEW+ZEALAND Looks like Cathay cheapest at 27,500 baht. It might be an idea to research flights to Sydney or Brisbane and use one of the cheaper budget airlines from there to NZ Let me know if you come up with any interesting deals or routes please. I was thinking of visiting my niece and family who live in Auckland this Christmas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gobbledonk Posted March 10, 2010 Report Share Posted March 10, 2010 Not sure what the flight time is for BKK-AKL, but its bloody depressing spending 4 hours just to clear the Oz coastline from BNE. The rest of the flight seems like a downhill run Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rest of the flight seems like a downhill run Then you wouldn't want to be traveling from Anchorage, Alaska. They have to fly south 3-5 hours to Vancouver, Seattle, San Francisco or Los Angeles to make a connection before flying almost straight back over where they originated before connecting to another flight in North Asia. That's really gotta suck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gobbledonk Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 Agreed - we had a thread while back where folk related the joys of flying from places like NYC to LOS - you dont need to be a Geography teacher to know that there are certain points on the map that will just suck totally. I recall a doco on this poor bastard who left Oz to pursue various Russian women over a period of a couple of years - worst case had him on a train for 3 days in Siberia, only to find a manipulative minx at the other end of that icy line. Makes me want to run out of the hotel and kiss the Pattaya ground right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
