What airline is this New Zealand flight deal with?

This deal is with Jetstar.

What’s included in the price?

Just the guarantee of a seat on the plane and a 7kg carryon bag. Extras, including checked bags, meals and the choice of where you’re sitting can be added on for an additional cost.

Can I get any frequent flyer points?

Not for these fares. If you are booking directly with Jetstar, you can opt for a more expensive fare that will allow you to not only collect Qantas Frequent Flyer points, but also check a bag, eat on the flight and choose your seat.

How to book this flight

We found the cheapest fares were available on Skyscanner. However, the third party it uses aren’t great. So you can also opt to pay $10 more per person and book directly with Jetstar.

These flights aren’t part of an official sale so can sell out at any time. We’d recommend booking quickly!
