A private personal arrangement was what I discussed when I said "I
thought I had found a way to get CS6 via my daughter in Switzerland.
No good, that's still going to cost me about US$1000." That would have
incurred no further freight as my wife is going to be staying with her
for a week in October.

Have your wife reroute her return trip via the US with one overnight in
NY, LA, or SFO.

The great circle route from Switzerland to Aus/NZ goes over Asia, not
N.A. So as a first guess it may be more expensive to start (though
international fare pricing can be bizarre.)

On that note, I would bet that if she booked back to back round trips,
one from NZ/AUS to the US and booked another (while in the US) from
there to Switzerland and back to the US that the total airfare would be
enough cheaper that it would pay for CS6 in its entirety. This would
take a lot of research and bargain hunting (not to mention resulting in
more travel and stops for Mme Stevens) but could be a way through.


Methinks the Duck was thinking about her shopping.

Shudder.

The last time she returned from Switzerland and the time before that
when she came back from India she managed to fit a carpet into her
luggage.
