Air New Zealand has launched its first sale of 2024 with reduced airfares to several destinations around Australia, Asia, North America and the Pacific.
The sale's one-way airfares include Auckland to Sydney for $197, Christchurch or Wellington to Sydney for $219, as well as Auckland to Tokyo for $756, Shanghai for $556, Honolulu for $547 and Noumea for $235.
The routes offered in the sale are all serviced by other airlines including budget Australian airline Jetstar, which often holds similar promotions of cheap airfares.
As with any sale, potential customers should carefully check the terms and conditions before purchasing tickets. Some of the airfares advertised are for the seat only, with an additional cost required for luggage, food, inflight entertainment and credit card payment.
Travel periods vary per route but include dates between January and December of this year. The sale runs until January 19 or until sold out, with the airline saying "tens of thousands" of seats are available in it.
"There's no better way to start the year than to book an exciting holiday away to look forward to," said Air NZ General Manager Long Haul Scott Carr.
"Whether it's whisking your family away for a tropical beach holiday or experiencing the bright lights and food and culture of a new city, there's options to suit every type of traveler."
