We had some 10-day DLR passes held with a deposit through a travel agent which were priced at just under NZ$2700 (3x adult, 1x child) for a trip we have planned for September. The travel agent contacted us on Wednesday to say the prices were about to go up and that to secure the quoted price we’d have to pay now. We are a little nervous about the Coronavirus situation and the tickets are non refundable once purchased so we decided to forfeit.
I just checked today on Expedia to see what the price has gone up to, expecting a smallish rise and it’s looking like it’s now NZ$3439!! I am blown away, that’s a 27% increase!
Before, the difference between 5 and 10 day was so small it was a no-brainer. It’s now a much bigger difference which is bumming me out.
In 2016 the same tickets were under NZ$2000.
