Virgin Australia sale: New Zealand flights from $159
Virgin Australia is running a 48-hour sale on New Zealand escapes.
Sorry, this sale is no longer running. Check our list of current flight sales to find a bargain!
Flights from many major Australian cities bound for New Zealand's top spots are on sale with Virgin Australia right now. The catch? It's a 48-hour sale only - which ends at midnight 11 April 2017 and you must travel in groups of 2-9, so you'd better round up your mates now!
Fares start from $159 each way, which is for journeys between Melbourne and Christchurch. Other cheap one-way flights are:- Brisbane to Auckland from $169
- Sydney to Christchurch from $169
- Melbourne to Auckland from $179
- Brisbane to Dunedin from $189
Book: Flights can be booked directly with Virgin Australia here.
While these rates are pricey compared to budget airlines Jetstar's last sale, which saw New Zealand flights drop to $154 return, keep in mind that these are with a luxury carrier. These prices are valid for dates from May to December and can give you a lot of flexibility with return flights.
To get the cheapest fares, you will need to add in luggage if needed.
The other advantage is the full range of New Zealand destinations you can fly directly to, including Auckland, Wellington, Dunedin, Christchurch and Queenstown. Whether you want summer or winter, snow or beaches, these flights might be a way to snag a cheaper deal in advance from many Australian cities.
These fares are only available until midnight 11 April. Full details and how to book are below.
