Lowest Typically Attainable Airfare: Toronto to New Zealand? [closed]
I did some searching for airfare from Toronto Canada to Auckland, New Zealand for October of 2021.
The best return price I could find today was around C$1600. My intent with the October date was to minimize the impact of covid on the prices.
I would be traveling after covid travel restrictions have eased and people are vaccinated, and I expect that I could book multiple months in advance.
Does C$1600 sound like an attainable round trip cost outside of covid times if booking in advance?
Thanks!

Remember to factor in the costs of compulsory Managed Isolation on entry into New Zealand.
You have to stay isolated in a hotel room for 14 days immediately on entry into the country.
Rates
$3,100 (NZ) for the first or only person in the room (whether that is an adult or a child) with $950 for each additional adult and $475 for each additional child (3-17 years old, inclusive) sharing that room, all GST inclusive......
Right now in April 2021, that's around $2740 CAD, so your flight will cost less than the first two weeks stuck in a (nice) hotel room.
You also have to have MIQ space allocated - there are only a set number of rooms so needs to be booked early and to line up with your arrival date. This might not line up with your optimal pricing for airfares.
