A new non-stop flight from Auckland to Honolulu has sparked an airline price war.
Hawaiian Airlines has announced introductory round-trip fares of $1075 for the service starting next March 14.
That's prompted Air New Zealand to offer 'deal' rates for return tickets starting at $912.
"We're always seeking to ensure
our fares are competitive," an Air New Zealand spokeswoman said.
Hawaiian Airlines said their flights would open up a new range of holiday options for New Zealanders, with the same carrier providing connections to the neighbouring islands of Maui, Kauai and Hawaii Island, and $1694 economy flights to 11 destinations on the US mainland, including Los Angeles, Las Vegas and New York.
