New Zealand will reopen for vaccinated Australian travellers from 11.59pm on April 12 and we are excited! No quarantine, no isolation, just fly in and ski out (almost).
Air New Zealand have today revealed the required process for Aussies flying into the country.
The airline has more than 50 flights per week on its 15 international routes and will adjust capacity to meet demand in the coming months as New Zealand heads into the winter season.
In the six months since October 2021, Air New Zealand has rehired around 700 flight attendants and pilots with more opportunities on the horizon over the next six months when international passenger flying starts to increase.
