$950 from SFO isn't a bad deal. It can be considerably more expensive around peak season if you don't catch a sale (easily $1.6k to $2k).

Prices have dropped massively in the last year or so as there are more flights and airlines doing AKL<->SFO now

Even over the summer months? Google is telling me about $1,400 for late March.

United entered the market within the last two years and that does seem to have driven the prices down a bit.

I fly to Auckland or Christchurch at least once a year with a family of 4 so welcome cheaper prices!

Ours was April on Air NZ but its been a couple years and 1400 doesn't sound out of the question.
