Advertise with NZME.International travel will be subject to more strict regulation by the airline, which insists all passengers over 12 (without an exemption) will be required to be fully vaccinated.
There has been no announcement of a date from when quarantine-free travel across the Tasman will resume. However, there has been a pledge for vaccinated travellers to be able to leave Auckland before Christmas and that quarantine-free international travel would restart in the first quarter of next year. Although, there are few details or dates on when this would happen.
"Before booking, customers should check the latest government travel requirements for New Zealand and their destination," says the release.
