It’s Not Too Late to Nab a Last Minute Christmas Break

Flight Centre’s PR manager, Marie Pilkington said Christmas is the perfect time to make the most of the public holidays and getaway on holiday.

“Christmas has a different meaning for everyone, however the majority of Kiwis take the time over the holiday period to enjoy a relaxing break.
