Has anyone flown business class LAX - SYD or return?

How about business class SYD - AKL or return?

Feedback?

I am pricing out air for Roo and have AUS - LAX - SYD; SYD-AKL; and AKL-SYD-LAX-AUS at $6549 per person which is a lot less than air credit; just haven't flown Virgin Australia before.

thanks,

Marc

Wes, I am starting in Austin and also going to Auckland. I have found cheaper itineraries with Fiji Airlines but when I subtract Fiji I don't get much cheaper than Delta/VA.

Marc.

Ken and I have flown this route many times, usually on Qantas. It’s a direct flight. They have a very good product but you pay for it. Since you need to return from NZ to LAX I would suggest Air NZ. I presume AirNZ has a direct flight from AKL to LAX. Hopefully Ralph will read this as he is an expert on this route. AirNZ prices seem to be very competitive.

I don’t like Fiji Air, and you’d have to go via Nadi I think.

I can’t help you with Delta/Virgin, have never flown them.


Sheila and Ken

Marc we flew Biz class on Air NZ from Lax to SYD via AKL a few years ago and were very pleased with their product. As I recall we had to change terminals in AKL which was a bit of a PITA but the flights themselves were very comfortable. Looking at Wes’ list, I would do it again without hesitation.
