looking bargain fares from nyc to auckland rt

My family (2 adult and an infant under 2) is looking to travel from New York city to Auckland in late November(after thanksgiving).
We are willing to take the tickets that you can't use off of your hands at a reasonable price.

You didn't state if it was to be a one way ticket or round trip.

There were recently some good deals from many US cities to both
Australia and New Zealand however you may be too late for these.

Firstly check with your local travel agent.
