We love these flights because:
- Explore the ancient temples of Luang Prabang or take in the French-colonial architecture of Vientiane.
- Similar fares with budget competitor AirAsia are considerably more expensive for matching travel dates.
- Laos is an underrated and exciting holiday destination, suitable for all types of travellers and adventurers.
$249: Visit Cook Islands with Air New Zealand

Travel dates: 18 Jan - 29 Mar, 26 Apr - 28 Jun and 2 Aug - 12 Sep 2019.

We love these flights because:
- The Cook Islands are remote, locals still practice timeworn traditions and friendliness is a way of life.
- There are cruises, nature parks, fishing, diving, snorkeling, night markets and white sand beaches galore.
- The islands are amazing but it might be smart to avoid the rainy season between November and March.
