I work for an airline, and could do the LHR-AKL section of the above
itinerary
on my firm's flights, for the knock-down price of $0.00! (An award ticket
for
not being sick. Or being masochistic, going into work when I should have
stayed
in bed!) Problem is it is standby, and could well find myself in LAX for a
week
trying to get on a flight, same at AKL coming back.....So 14 nights
accommodation
would get pretty close to the ticket price quoted! Airline travel benefits
aren't
always so good as touted!
