    Is there a booking fee: No

    The departure Airport/Post: LON
    The Holiday Dates: Departing 16th/17th April
    The number of people travelling (inc kids ages): 2
    The Hotel (or * if it’s allocate on arrival): N/A

    Any specific requirements:

    Round the world flight departing LON 16/4/2011 or 17/4/2011. With stop-offs in Singapore, Sydney, Auckland (overground to) Christchurch NZ, LAX, back to London. All trips completed within about 6 weeks, with approx 3-4 wks in NZ.

    Have seen some better web prices, but not confirmed cheaper quotes for our dates.
    We do have flexibility with regards to stop offs on the way - e.g. Singapore/Hong-Kong/Dubai, also on the way back (would like to go to USA/Canada but flexible where).

    Our *ideal* flight would do NZ first (i.e. before Aus) but are flexible on this point and this wasn't part of our original quote.
    Is an in-flight meal included: Yes
