I did that once (about 1981). It was great but unfortunately a lot of it was at night. If I remember it took about 20 hrs to get to Calgary.

PM me if you want some tips. We lived in Vancouver a few years ago and have done a lot of travel through Vancouver Island and central BC both on ferry, train and car, including the ice fields parkway through the rockies. Well worth the trip, especially if you're only pay $750 odd to YVR!

That will be only one way, look at the return all up cost, if April or later then a good price...if direct AKL to YVR then worth it, even at a price premium...to do what you want you need to go at the right time of year...

All looks fine to me including load factors.

Agreed. Pleasing to note RPK YTD excluding currency factors increased from +2.1% last month to +2.8% this month. Gives grounds to support management's optimism expressed at the recent annual meeting. Also pleasing is their fuel hedge position which is currently just over $USD29m in the money. Its never a good thing to see oil prices going up like lately, (but as long as yields increase, which they are, that's fine) and they have good level's of hedges in place worth over $42m Kiwi net of costs.

Business appears to be in good shape. Newly configured brand new Dreamliner starts services to Houston in December. Also announced so many different awards that I lost count.
