Struggling to use your Frequent Flyer Points?

Frequent Flyer Concierge takes the hard work out of finding award availability and redeeming your frequent flyer or credit card points for flights.

Using their expert knowledge and specialised tools, the Frequent Flyer Concierge team at Frequent Flyer Concierge will help you book a great trip that maximises the value for your points.

Thanks for all the info folks... after a schedule change by ANZ, now leaving a day later....so the great tips from this website have been:
- Get your bike license ASAP and rent a bike
- Location suggestions, tough call on hotel style or house style, both have their pros - we decided on the hotel style at Edgewater resort
- Pearls, keep some powder/cash dry to make mrs wallacej happy
- Transit through NZ airport to catch up with a friend
- Inability to get lounge access (although a negative, still good to know)
- And be AWARE of island time...

Any more tips would be great, still 116 days to go...this time I am more excited by the destination (non work related) than I am by the flight!
 
G'day harvey - just a quick question - transfer from airport to edgewater resort. It looks like it is only a few kms from the airport. I read your trip report and as detailed as it was I couldnt find the part about transit.
The hotel says that they dont offer a transfer, but can arrange it for $35 per person return. What is taxi availability like?
If anyone else has any knowledge that would be great too... the count down is on, less than 30 days for a trip that involves NO work, phones or internet.
 
On the topic of lounge accessat AKL . . . there's always the Akarana/Deathstar lounge ($9.99NZD):D

I had a look and you need to be on a JQ domestic flight.... it's only $30NZD to cancel and refund a jetflex fare though so if you could be bothered you could get access for $39.99NZD all up.
