Air New Zealand’s Sale Away Sale

If you’ve been thinking about a trip across the ditch, consider this your cue. Air New Zealand’s sale on flights between Australia and NZ lands this February, with competitive fares and extras for travellers who want to venture beyond the main hubs.

Between February 16 and 18, book a sale fare into Auckland or Wellington and you can tack on select domestic flights for just $75* per person each way – opening up the rest of the North Island without blowing the budget.

In the big cities, experience Auckland’s volcanic peaks, harbour ferries and globally renowned food scene, or Wellington’s cafe culture, creative energy, galleries, museums and famous film sets – with wildlife just beyond the city’s edge. Then, from the big smoke, build a trip that dives into the regions locals love. Rotorua delivers a full sensory experience: bubbling mud pools, towering geysers, forested walking tracks and lake swims, paired with powerful Māori cultural experiences and world-class accommodation options.

Further north, Northland trades crowds for coastline: split your time between wild west-coast surf beaches and the glassy waters of the Bay of Islands; cruise through the Hole in the Rock; soak in Ngawha Springs’ natural geothermal pools; or dig into oysters pulled straight from the harbour. History runs deep here, too, from the Waitangi Treaty Grounds to heritage towns like Russell and Kerikeri.

Sydney to Auckland flights start from $274 per person one-way, with the $75 add-on available on select domestic routes from Auckland and Wellington. 

Find out more and book your trip between February 16 and 18.
