As if you needed more than one reason, Travel Blog Gadling has come up with ten VERY good reasons to consider a vacation in New Zealand. And no, none of them are because Lord of the Rings was filmed there.
Here’s my favorite reason:
3. Fare Wars: Ever since V Australia entered the transpacific market, fares between the United States and Australia/New Zealand have been outstanding. Several Gadling bloggers reached Sydney from Los Angeles for under $500 earlier this year, and even now, tickets are hovering around the $800 range. At about this time last year, these prices were around $2,000.
Despite the bad economy, there are deals to be had on airfares and not just to New Zealand. If you’re relatively financially secure then recessions are good times to take vacations. Airfares are cheap, exchange rates are good and companies will do a deal.
