How Two Tickets Can Cost Less Than One
If you’re planning a trip to Australia or New Zealand from North America and saving money is your priority, you can cut thousands of dollars from Business Class tickets with one simple move: Make a connection in Tahiti, Fiji, or the Cook Islands. For example, instead of taking Qantas’ Los Angeles-Sydney non-stop, which costs $13,147 round-trip in Business Class, book the flight in two segments: Los Angeles-Fiji ($3,779) and Fiji-Sydney ($998). That’s a savings of $8,370 (64%) and enough for an over-water villa at a five-star resort for a few nights.
But wait, there’s more!
Amex’s Platinum cardholders can do even better as Air New Zealand participates in the “International Airline Program’s” 2-for-1 for Business Class travel. In the example above, that means two tickets to Fiji for $5,126, which can bring the cost down by another $1,200 each!
