Airfare is HOW MUCH???

Okay, so it's been a while since I've flown. But still.

Toying with wanting to join mini-tour in New Zealand in Nov for the Hobbit Premier. I so want to be there. I was in NZ for The Return of the King in 2003. I couldn't afford the 14 day one with Red Carpet. It's really gone up a lot since 2003. But then there was talk of a mini 7 day one around the premier. Hey, that sounds more affordable. Yea.

Playing around with airfare to NZ from LAX .... it would cost more than the cost of the tour! *SOBS!* Okay, still the two together is less than the 14 day tour... but, but, but. *sigh*

Argh. I feel your pain. I was kind of hoping to make a fun trip this year but unless I can drive there, I'm not going. :-(

Are you going to try to go anyway?

Searching for sirprices during the summer is the worse. If this is a trip for later, see if you can wait till Sept when prices are lower.

You might try a travel agent just to see if they can find a better price. I searched high and low for the China deal and finally had to go with an agency that specialized in China trips to get the deal. But it saved us over a thousand per person.

Yeah, try a travel agent! I never would have thought of that!
