well done!
we have just done the same, booked it ourselves online, London to New Zealand (
www.airnewzealand.com), try it out if you're heading in that direction next year, they have a sale on and we managed to get our flights for �400 cheaper than everywhere else I looked
we just need to buy a flight to and from Heathrow but they're so cheap, to book it online including Dublin would have cost us an extra �700!
