There are cheap one way tickets to Auckland (AKL) New Zealand in August, via Andy Luten, in case you don't mind that it's winter there now (not to mention 12+ hours of flying in coach from the West Coast, or ~23 hours of travel from the East Coast, including connections). While I have other August travel plans, here are the details for anyone who wants to get to Hobbit land on the cheap:
- Book on United.com
- Cheapest fares are from LAX
- Fares in August are cheapest, but some September fares aren't too much higher
- LAX-AKL from $339
- EWR-AKL (via IAH and SFO) from $458
- Book your return with miles; see Tips for Booking Award Tickets to Australia and New Zealand
