Been dreaming of a trip to NZ? Well now is the time to turn that dream into a reality, without blowing out the budget. Qantas has just dropped a massive Red Tail Sale on thousands of fares to Auckland, Queenstown, Wellington and Christchurch on flights departing from capital cities across Australia from as little as $499 (Economy, return). 

Lower flight fares have come as a welcome relief to travellers in 2024, with some of the largest international carriers dropping massive sales. After an unprecedented year in 2023, where flight prices soared due to the high demand of people wanting to travel and the lack of services in the air, those looking to head abroad can now do so without having to reach too deep into their life savings. Hallelujah!
