Carol & I are flying out 2 weeks early and doing some land touring in New Zealand before boarding the ship 12/3. Anyone else doing extended tours in NZ prior to the cruise? BTW, lowest business class air out of LAX is on Air Pacific via Fiji (flight to Fiji is operated by Air NZ). We fly up to LAX via a short hop from Carlsbad. Using FF miles for one-way didn't make sense (they charge you RT miles!).
