Mass Dash to Getaway these Holidays
Almost 250,000 Kiwis are searching for getaways to take advantage of the upcoming Easter and ANZAC Day public holidays
with travellers most likely to depart this Good Friday (10 per cent), according to the latest data from Cheapflights.co.nz.
Nathan Graham, Regional Sales Manager at Cheapflights ANZ, said: “Australia remains the favourite over the Easter and
ANZAC Day break, home to four of the top 10 most popular destinations with Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane topping the
list. With frequent and shorter flights, and affordable airfares – averaging $930 return across the continent – it’s no
surprise it is the go to holiday hot spot.”
The research also shows:
• Avoid flying on a Friday – not only is it the most popular time for Kiwis to take to the skies, it is also the
most expensive day of the week to depart throughout April
• Those from Auckland are most likely to get away (70 per cent), followed by travellers from Christchurch (12 per
cent) and Wellington (9 per cent)
• Auckland (21 per cent), Christchurch (19 per cent) and Wellington (16 per cent) are also the most popular
domestic destinations
