Business Class to New Zealand

 

A journey to Middle Earth, or at least the movie version of it, whisks travelers away to the gorgeous scenery and welcoming culture of New Zealand. For savvy travelers who are looking to begin and end their excursion to New Zealand in the lap of luxury, there are plenty of cheap business class flights and first class airfare deals to sweeten the trip.

The Journey, Part One
After you've scored the best deals business class has to offer or you've found dreamy cheap first class fares, book your trip to start at Aukland Airport. Aukland's location on the North Island is the perfect jumping off point for a variety of adventures, including those that involve the "Hobbit." While driving to some of the sites allows you to experience more the country's culture and attractions, some of the area's tours are able to access privately-operated locations. Whether you choose to go it alone or join a group, "Hobbit" fans are sure to be captivated.

Travel first to PioPio, about two and-a-half hours south of Aukland. Its massive limestone rocks and scenery make up the Denize Bluffs and were the site of Trollshaw forest and Staddle Farm. It is here that Gandalf gave the sword "Sting" to Bilbao and the Orcs and Wargs attacked.

Once you've relished all of the campfire and troll scene locales, continue on to Matamata. There, you'll find the life-sized hobbit holes of Hobbiton, see Bilbo Baggins' home and dine at the Green Dragon Inn. From Matamata, travelers may continue driving south or return to Aukland to take a luxuriously cheap first class flight or discounted business class fare to bustling Wellington. 

The Journey, Part Two
Wellington's airport is one of the best airports in Australasia and features a 43-foot long Gollum sculpture suspended from the airport rafters. Wellington itself is home to the "Hobbit's" soundstage and lot at Stone Street Studios.

From Wellington, it's a four-hour trip north to Turoa, the entrance to The Lonely Mountain site. On one side of the mountainous area is Hidden Bay, used for the scene where Gollum scampered along the river chasing fish. The other side is home to Tongariro Park's volcanic region, used for Mordor's home and Mt. Doom.

The Journey, Part Three
Then, it's back to Wellington for more comfortable and cheap business class flights to the South Island. While on the South Island, check out the Pelorus River, the setting of the Misty Mountains and the turquoise Lake Pukaki's setting as Laketown.

Of course, there are dozens of other sites throughout the country that served as backdrops and scenes from the "Hobbit" trilogy, and saving money with cheap first class tickets or discounted business class tickets can help you explore them all. If searching for bargain premium travel is proving to be your own personal drama, use a service like IFlyFirstClass that specializes in finding business class specials and first class deals that save you hundreds of dollars. They'll even unearth deals on one way business class fares if you decide to explore beautiful New Zealand for an extended period of time.
