[aaa99]

Came across this while searching for a flight to NZ. Seems to be economy only.

What does it take (from flying) to earn those avios/QF ff points? Earn(flying) to burn is not the same for ffp's, but credit cards often transfer as the same rate. But QF is generally poor earn to burn.
For my TT flights AU to NZ real taxes are ~A$140 and NZ to AU ~NZ$66, so saving with an award are not a lot.

Took advantage of this offer to do a cheeky South Island road trip next month CHC-ZQN. There was plenty of award availability at 12k (v quite expensive revenue fares at the moment!). I had an AMEX cash back offer on QF, so that reduced the taxes by $50.

Funny (or not so) thing, we booked similar last year (discount NZ award flights) but the “TT bubble” burst before we even planned what we were going to do…
