Bag it Fares on Air New Zealand from Tuesday at noon

Moonchild

The excellent Air NZ were offering a load of 'reverse auction' fares to Hong Kong recently (i.e. the price went down until all the seats were sold). The cheapest seats went for about £160 return including tax, which is a quite brilliant price.

They are now running something similar to New Zealand, although it will be 'random' as opposed to 'reverse' starting on Tuesday at noon. Although the dates of travel are unknown, it's worth checking out as some people will get an amazing deal.

This is copy and pasted from the e-mail I got:

Bags-it Returns



Bags-It is back.This time with return flights to Auckland, New Zealand, and instead of dropping the price every hour, it's going to drop randomly instead! So follow us on Twitter to give yourself a better chance. We'll be tweeting the latest prices and number of seats left.
If you haven't heard of Bags-It yet, it's a reverse auction. The prices keep going down until we sell all the tickets. But there's a limited number of seats, so you'll have to be quick on the draw.
Bags-It Auckland will start on Tuesday 16th June at high noon, but get ready by bookmarking Bags-It.co.uk right now. You can also join our Facebook groupto find out about the next Bags-It, and get your friends Bags-ing too.

I'm sending this to the top again whilst you're all searching through Singapore Airlines, if you want to go to NZ keep an eye on this from noon, as you might get an equally good bargain.

Not sure exactly how this works but the minimum taxes and surchages are £307 when you go through to the booking page...

...sadly (unless there's something I'm missing and they're going to change later!)

They will be changing dates and prices throughout the day, so you'll have to keep an eye on them. Their prices are currently about £120 less than their normal prices.

The only thing is though that Singapore Airlines have absolutely blown them out the water, pre-empting what would normally be a good deal.

Moonchild

Currently £521 inc tax.

Will drop I guess to around £420 if they go at this rate until 6pm. But again, I wonder if anyone is taking notice with the Singapore Airlines prices!

£481.............
