Air New Zealand- January Sale

Thursday, January 14th, 2010

LA OR NEW ZEALAND – BEAT THE SNOW!  

- Air New Zealand New Year Sale Fares -  

It’s January again, and with gloomy news of snowy storms, why not beat the January blues and book a bargain fare to New Zealand or LA on the Kiwi carrier, Air New Zealand.

 Air New Zealand’s New Year Sale fares are now available and prices to New Zealand start from as little as £675 per person (fully inclusive of all pre-payable taxes) for a return flight from London Heathrow to Auckland in the airline’s spacious Pacific Economy (valid for travel between 16 April – 20 June 2010). Alternatively, how about a touch of city slicking in glorious Los Angeles, where a return economy flight starts from just £384 including taxes (valid for travel between 12 January – 30 June or 22 August – 30 November 2010). 

Scott Carr, Air New Zealand’s General Manager UK and Europe, comments: “We know that as well as feeling the pinch after Christmas, many people are also wanting to escape the weather we’ve been having. With temperatures in Los Angeles around 25 degrees and New Zealand experiencing one of the best summers in a decade we suggest people get on one of our flights out of here! Both locations offer a great holiday experience, whether it’s the glitz of LA or the serenity of New Zealand and will definitely lift any post Christmas blues.”

  • Offer only available online at www.airnewzealand.co.uk
  • All pre-payable taxes are included departing from London Heathrow
  • Listed return fare to New Zealand valid for sale until 08 Feb 10 and valid for travel from 16 Apr 10 – 20 June10
