EL SEGUNDO, Calif. (Feb. 10, 2009) - Whether you're planning a romantic getaway for two, or spring break with a group of mates, Air New Zealand's PARTY fare is the one for you. For one week, Air New Zealand is offering groups of two to six people discounts of up to 30% for travel from Los Angeles or San Francisco to New Zealand, Australia or the Pacific Islands. Grab your friends, family and next door neighbor because the more you book, the more you save.
Travelers must book before February 18, 2009 for travel from February 16 - October 31, 2009.
"As kiwis, we look for any excuse to party, and when it comes to visitors, the more the merrier!" said Roger Poulton, vice president, Air New Zealand - the Americas. "With these amazing discounts on fares, combined with the local exchange rate, now's the perfect time to vacation with those you love - or those who love to have fun!"
In addition to the cheap airfare, the U.S. dollar will go a lot further. Currently, the U.S. dollar exchanges for $1.93 New Zealand.
The PARTY fare discounts are applied in 5% increments, depending on how many travelers in the group - two mates at 10 percent off; three mates for 15 percent off; four mates will receive a 20 percent discount; five mates for 25 percent off; and six mates - an amazing discount of 30 percent! Discounts are applicable across all cabins.
Group travel can be adventurous once you're on ground with an RV, or campervan as Kiwis call it, making it easy to explore the beautiful scenery and meet the locals. Air New Zealand Vacations offers RV packages at various price points based on the number of travelers. Campervans range from approximately $22 (USD) per day for two travelers to $56.00 (USD) per day for six travelers. Divide it amongst your mates, and that's one cheap vacation down under.
To book online and access these discounts enter the PARTY promotion code, plus the number of travelers in your group: PARTY OF 2, PARTY OF 3, PARTY OF 4, PARTY OF 5 or PARTY OF 6. The promotion is subject to availability and may change at any time.
