    I'd be very grateful if anyone can beat this quote:
    • The Quote itself: £989 for 1 adult return flight to Wellington, New Zealand
    • Who the quote is from: Air New Zealand
    • Is there a booking fee: N/A
    • The Tour Operator/Airline/Hotel: Air New Zealand (happy to fly with an alternative airline)
    • The departure Airport: London Heathrow
    • The Holiday Dates: Flexible - I need to be in Wellington on 30th November so would want to either arrive a few days before or leave a few days after that date. Other than that my outward and return dates/times are flexible according to whatever is cheapest. I'd like to be in Wellington for a minimum of 14 and a maximum of 21 days.
    • The number of people travelling (inc kids ages): 1 (student)
    • Any specific requirements: I would prefer flights lasting less than 30 hours
    Many thanks, Lisa

    I would just like to recommend delwyns holidaydeals who is a travel agent on this site.
    This is the second time i have booked with del, last year he helped me with a holiday to Egypt which was lovely from start to finish and at a great price.
    So i got in contact with him, and again he has been most helpful in helping me to organise a holiday to america. He has been able to get me lovely hotels and flights at a much cheaper price than if i had gone direct.
    He is a friendly guy and will do his best to help you with your requirements and save you money.
