Count me in!!!! Dec/Jan at wdw, universal, Miami and skiing in Whistler. All planned out, just waiting for dates to be released - especially the airlines.

Marlea98 said:Can I ask what your dates are? My TA said she can't book yet as our return dates are 21/1 or 22/1 and it's too far out at the moment.

Franrose said:Just playing with the AirNZ website I can book with a return date as late as the 19th of Jan. Virgin, up to the 30th of Dec.

Does air nz fly direct to USA, or do you have to stop in nz?
Franrose said:It stops in at Auckland. But I'm from NZ originally so it's kind of like a quick visit home (even if only the airport lol), and I've booked skycouch, and I'm looking at it as a nice break in a long flight for kids (the actual flying time is only an hour more than direct), and it's a night flight which works well for the kids too so I'm looking at it as a win/win situation. The flights were cheaper than direct too. It's possible that between now and then there'll be sales, but I don't imagine what I could save is worth more than the peace of mind of knowing we're booked at a price I'm happy with now kwim. Better than me somehow stuffing up and being forced to pay $9,000 closer to the end of the year lol!
Omg I hear you on the cost, it is cheaper by thousands for 4 of us to fly to la and stay a night with air nz than fly direct with qantas or virgin......also the direct flight early the next morning to Orlando is non stop and half the price than later in the day!!! I think I am going to not just think outside the square...I'm moving outside the square!!!!
