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
