The options for purchasing South Pacific airfares from North America can be confusing and for the novice this can lead to costly mistakes.
There are airfares available on-line from all of the airlines that fly to New Zealand, Australia and the Pacific Islands. But before buying some important questions need to be asked as what might look like a great deal might not be all that it seems.
- Which airline offers the best airfares in your chosen class and on the dates you wish to travel?
- How many classes of travel are there - business, premium economy, economy and what do you get with each of these options?
- Is there a 'special offer' soon to be put into the market that you don't know about when you make your airline reservation?
- All airfares are seasonal; they go up and down throughout the year. Have you selected travel dates that give you the best seasonal rates?
- Many airlines impose surcharges if you make a stopover. Do you plan to make a stopover en-route, and do you know the best way to structure this?
- If you fly within New Zealand or Australia who has the best airfares on the day you travel? Air New Zealand, QANTAS, Tiger, Jetstar, Virgin? Let the experts advise you.
- Are business class seats on all airlines the same? Absolutely not. Beware!
- If for some reason you need to change some or all of your travel dates, will you pay a penalty?
- Did you know that airlines often provide access to special airfares to selected travel agents like uplanit.com? These are called 'IT Specials' or 'nets' that agents can use only to create vacation itineraries? They cannot be advertised and they sometimes undercut what is available to the public.
