We've just come across a standout sale on Air New Zealand that our editors are downright gaga over. Travel to Australia via Los Angeles or San Francisco, and nab unbelievable fares from just $675 round-trip – that's the lowest rate we've seen on this route in as long as we can remember. Travel is valid in May or June, and again from September 23 through October 24. Fly to Sydney, Melbourne, Cairns, Brisbane, and beyond at these highly reduced rates – plus, take advantage of a layover in Auckland, or in select South Pacific locales, for just $100 more. Be sure to factor in up to $120 on top of base rates in additional taxes and fees, and to book before this deal disappears for good on March 17.
