Air New Zealand sells domestic flights at low prices

This followed a major sale announced by the airline on Friday, which lasted just a few hours and covered select travel dates.

The Lolly Scramble sale offered return economy flights from Auckland to Tokyo, Los Angeles, Honolulu, Shanghai and Seoul for $899.

Return economy flights from Auckland to the Gold Coast, Sydney and Tahiti cost $399.

While $60 domestic airfares seem like pre-pandemic prices, domestic airfares overall are not at 2019 levels. Statistics New Zealand said international rates were down an average of 23% from the peak of the pandemic, while domestic rates were down 13% but still 50% higher than pre-pandemic levels.
