Why set your sights further afield when one of the world’s most beautiful countries is our next-door neighbour? Mother Nature really shines on New Zealand. The 103,500-square-mile islands are a mix of vast mountain ranges, gobsmacking glaciers and picturesque lakes in every shade imaginable, making it one of the most in-demand travel destinations.
For five days only, you can snap up discounted flights to New Zealand, with Air New Zealand dropping one-way fares down. Mark your calendars: the sale kicks off on March 23 at 12.01am (AEDT) and ends on March 27 at 11.59pm (AEDT). That gives you just five days to lock in your holiday.
So, where can you go? The sale covers 20 destinations across New Zealand, including the nation’s largest city, Auckland and the capital, Wellington, with departures from most major Australian cities.
Economy one-way fares start from just $293 from Sydney and Melbourne to Auckland, $288 one-way from Brisbane to Auckland, Christchurch and Wellington, $318 one-way from Sydney to Queenstown and $308 one-way from Melbourne to Queenstown.
Fancy an upgrade? Book a flight to Auckland from Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne or Perth and you can also score discounts on Premium Economy and Business Premier.
The best part about flying with Air New Zealand – other than it being voted one of the safest airlines in 2026 – is what’s included. Every seat comes with a carry-on bag, plus complimentary snacks and entertainment. For a small fee, you can upgrade to 'the Works' for an all-inclusive experience, including checked baggage, a meal service and free seat selection. How good!
