Air New Zealand is excited about their new Chicago to Auckland route, and are always trying to win over passengers headed to Australia as well. The airline is selling $1492 round trip business class to Australian cities Sydney or Melbourne on their brand new state of the art 787 Dreamliner, with technology that helps reduce the effects of jet lag. Flyertalk user vincewy was kind enough to share this amazing find, so go book it while it lasts. Chances are it won’t be around long. And yes, it’s only available from Chicago but works to Melbourne or Sydney

The Dates These Deals Work For

These deals are easy to find. They’re available for departures on Friday, Saturday or Sunday only to Melbourne or Sydney, with a one week minimum stay. If you leave on a Saturday, you can’t come back until the next Saturday. Frankly, in Australia you should stay as long as you possibly can.

  1. I just missed this one, unfortunately. The fare allowed a stopover in New Zealand so I priced out 10 days there before continuing. I hesitated a few minutes longer than I should have and they pulled it while I was on the checkout page. Oh well!

    Congratulations to everyone who booked. If honored, this is an amazing deal.
