I checked AirNZ and they have the cheapest fares at $199 Tasman Smart Fares. What is this thing about Pacific Blue? A publicity stunt? They seemed to say when they set up in NZ they were providing $99 fares and they would compete head on with AirNZ. |

They're always cheaper the further in advance you book, maybe call them and ask. |

| 319988 | 2005-02-01 05:50:00 | Maybe I will telephone them but still doesn't answer the fact that AirNZ has cheaper fares online than Virgin Blue's online fares (both with the same dates). Besides, telephone bookings would have a $10 fee on top which is usually on top of the online fares. A difference of $350 vs $199 is not small. AirNZ medium priced airfare is just $270 the semi flexible one? I think I would also check out Freedom Air. |

| 319990 | 2005-02-01 07:52:00 | Marketing. Its an evil force. I agree. The Marketing Dept at every uni promote themselves so well that every business scholar turns to them to do their major. Can't imagine what it'll be like in a few decades. |

| 319991 | 2005-02-01 08:59:00 | In a few decades the consumer society will have reached saturation,and the big corperations will just get sleazier and sleazier in their efforts to offload as much crap as possible. I would say at this point there will be a backlash and the upcoming generation will try to march to a different drum then their parents, Yep,thats right, a new breed of hippie, and maybe this time the planet can be saved,wars can be stopped and society will no longer be enslaved by marketing propaganda. muhahahahahahaha. |
