Two ways to settle

Pay now, or hold your seat

Card

Ticketed in about a minute

Charged once, e-tickets issued into the airline’s own system in your name, confirmation and airline record locator by email. No surcharge on any card. Free cancellation until midnight NZST/NZDT on the day you book.

Bank transfer

Booking held as Pending

We create the booking, hold the fare and email an invoice with our account details and a payment reference unique to you. Transfer within two business days and the tickets issue the moment the funds clear. Nothing is charged up front, and you can walk away at any point before then.

Why book here

Why book with us

We hold our own airline contracts and we don’t charge you to use them. Most sites here add a fee to book, another to change, and a third to hold the price. We add none of the three.

The price you see is the price you pay

Every quote is the all-inclusive total for your whole party — fares, taxes, carrier charges and 15% GST already in. No drip-pricing and no guesswork: the number on the first screen is the number at the end.

Every cabin, real inventory

From Economy to First across 9 airlines, searched live and bookable yourself in about four minutes. We’re premium-cabin specialists — but we’ll find the right seat at any budget.

Fares you can’t see online

We hold contract rates on 9 airlines that never appear on their own websites. On long-haul Business that is usually NZ$1,000–NZ$3,000 a person below the public price. On Economy the gap is small, and we’ll say so.

Measured in flat hours, not stars

Every result shows how much of the trip you spend lying down, sitting up, and waiting on the ground. Two flights at the same price are often six hours apart on sleep — and no comparison site will tell you that.

One ticket the whole way

Connecting flights go on a single ticket, so a late first leg is the airline’s problem to fix, not yours. Two cheap one-ways booked separately look clever until one of them slips.

A named person, not a queue

Call +64-800-700-093 aand you reach a consultant in New Zealand who can see your booking. When an airline reschedules or your plans change, a real person sorts it — fast, at any hour

Contract fares vary by route, cabin and travel date, and each airline’s own rules apply on top. We always show you the all-inclusive price and the fare conditions in writing before you pay.

Premium inventory is thin — on most of these routes there are fewer than a dozen seats at the lowest fare. Prices move daily and are not held until a booking is confirmed.
How booking here works

Booking takes about four minutes

Search, pick your flight, add what you need and pay however suits you. We request your seats with the airline afterwards, free of charge.

01

Search live fares

Pick the route, dates and cabin. Prices update against real inventory and every total already includes taxes and 15% GST.

02

Choose the flight

Compare on the journey bar, not just price — how much of the trip is in a flat bed, and how long you sit on the ground between sectors.

03

Add what you need

Bags, insurance, priority. All optional, all priced separately, so the running total is never a surprise.

04

Pay, or transfer later

Card issues tickets immediately. Bank transfer creates the booking as Pending and holds it while your funds clear.

Choosing a cabin

Which cabin is worth it?

Indicative return fares per person from Auckland to London, including all taxes and carrier charges. Real prices move constantly — these are what we have been booking this quarter.

Premium Economy

Premium Economy

from NZ$3,150 return, all in
A wider seat with 18–20cm more recline, a leg rest and a foot bar — a better chair, not a bed.
Separate small cabin, usually 21–40 seats, with its own crew ratio.
Two checked bags, priority boarding, and a meal served on china.
No lounge access on most carriers unless you hold airline status.
Worth it when: the flight is under 12 hours, or the budget genuinely will not stretch to Business.
Most booked

Business

from NZ$8,100 return, all in
A seat that goes fully horizontal — on the aircraft we recommend, at 180°, not 165°.
Direct aisle access from every seat on Qsuite, Qantas Business Suite and Air NZ Business Premier.
Lounge access at every airport on the itinerary, including the connection.
Two to three checked bags at 32kg, priority everything, and earning that moves your status.
Worth it when: the journey is over 14 hours, or you have to function on arrival. This is the cabin we sell most of.
First

First

from NZ$21,400 return, all in
An enclosed suite with a separate bed made up with a proper mattress and linen.
Emirates and Singapore Airlines fly the only true First cabins on sale from this market at scale.
Chauffeur transfers at both ends on Emirates; Private Room on Singapore Airlines A380s.
Dining on request rather than on a service schedule, and a dedicated First lounge.
Worth it when: you are paying for the arrival, not the flight — or a sale has brought it within reach of Business.
How we compare flights

How much of the trip do you spend lying down?

Every fare here carries a journey bar. Gold is time in a flat bed, navy is time sitting up, and the hatched part is time waiting on the ground. Two flights can cost the same and take the same number of hours, and still be completely different trips.

What travellers tell us

★★★★★
NZ2 to New York in Business Premier for NZ$8,340. Air New Zealand’s own site had it at NZ$12,900 on the same flight, same day. Non-stop, so no connection to worry about.
H

★★★★★
Twenty-four hours to London is brutal and I’d always just booked the cheapest. Seeing the ground time laid out changed which itinerary I picked, and it was the better trip by a distance.
M
Megan S.Singapore Airlines
Business
★★★★★
Paid by bank transfer because the card limit wouldn’t take it. They held the booking as Pending for two days, then ticketed the moment the funds cleared. No fuss at all.

Talk to a person

Something trickier than a return flight?

Multi-city trips, groups of nine or more, flying home from a different city, or dates that need to move — a search box gives up here, a person doesn’t. Ask us to price it. It costs nothing and usually comes back cheaper.
