Paul Whiteway, Senior Director at APAC at Skyscanner spokesperson comments:  

“Quarantine free travel re-starting to New Zealand is about more than holidays for Australians, it’s about being able to visit their favourite places again and connecting and reuniting with family and friends. There is close bond between Australia and New Zealand and we expect travellers booking early trips will be going to see family and friends as well as leisure trips with the upcoming ski season.

“For any Aussies planning a last-minute trip for when the travel corridor opens, Skyscanner shows travellers the best available prices by clearly highlighting the cheapest day and options. For those looking further afield who want to book with peace of mind, the best way to make sure you’re covered is purchasing a flexible ticket –  you can use the Flexible search filter on Skyscanner to select flights with policies which entitle you to a refund, even if you have to cancel at the last minute, while others let you rearrange for another date if circumstances change.”
