Flight special to New Zealand from Canada if you travel between October 19-31, 2014, and May 1-June 8, 2015.
I found flights from Calgary to Auckland on Air New Zealand (awesome airline, btw) for $1600 flat, flying next year.
I encourage anyone thinking about it to take advantage. That is a remarkably cheap flight to Auckland from here, which usually borders on the $1800-$2200 range normally.
