Here are links to some useful travel websites.

Flights and Travel Information

Travelocity Get travel information, check flights, and make reservations.

Expedia Another handy travel website.

Air New Zealand Qantas and Air New Zealand are the two main airlines that fly between the U.S. and Down Under. I like Air New Zealand because they allow free stopovers on the way there.
