Thinking of a holiday escape to LA for three weeks in September. Have just browsed ticket fares on both Qantas and AirNZ websites, return flights from CHC to LAX, depart on Sep 2 and return on Sep 23, quoted on AirNZ NZD964 vs. Qantas NZD1749 (both include taxes).Geee that is a huge discount given by Air NZ, remembered one way to LA used to be $900.

Your also talking about September which should be high demand given school holidays and many private schools having three week holidays at that time. We are going over...although exams start to get in the way of older child families...Qantas and AA will have discounts again soon although AIR is good from chch with no domestic fight delay risk..


I fly chch to lax monthly for business, AA and Qantas have been averaging 1000$ return which has brought AIR own fares down to match from April. Now below $1000, my overall budget spend for the year will be half last years...

Asia is heading the same way... and for product from Christchurch to Europe you would not choose AIR.

The good thing is even moderate trading on AIR in the past 12 months will have provided stella returns...has for me...AIR and competition has been a win win!

I've had a chat with Emmett and he has told me how to utilise a flux capacitor in the model (as suggested by a poster this morning)

Will do that overnight and report back tomorrow

Fitted the flux capacitor (thanks Emmett) to the model and added a bit of econometric modelling .......

......and today is going to be just an up day but we need to wait until early next week for that watershed day when price shoots through 220 .....to 225 plus

Interesting thanks, credit to Hoop who has obviously thought of this before now (not surprising). It pretty much shows that either there is no correlation of AIR to Brent Crude, or that AIR very cleverly manage their oil price hedges which by ergo have no correlation to share price. I think the latter, but the former is the result. I will still do my own analysis, to be sure.

Baabaa - Come to any conclusions?

Did you data mine it right??

AIR management said in their investor day briefing a while back they expect yields to normalise in FY18. Airlines can't keep selling return fares to Honk Kong and LA for $999, its not sustainable over the long run.
Don't get too worried about short term specials affecting average yield...these things have a way of averaging themselves out over time...besides that fuel is dirt cheap at present.

That said I do think people need to look through the forthcoming final / special divvy and understand there's a new competitive landscape. Having too many eggs in one basket doesn't make sense to me but each to their own.

AIR sp creeping up again. See what happens at end of day with the down pushers. Or have they finished? Wouldn't mind getting a few more, can't think of anything else better to buy at the moment.

If you carefully "weigh" up your options you'll find other "juicy" value alternatives out there. Just look at the "scale" of other options out there mate
