Why choose Economy?

We work with leading airlines to ensure your family has a relaxed schedule with the best flight routes and connections. What about a stopover? Our travel specialists can advise you on the best stopover locations for your family.

Enjoy exceptional service and a variety of food and drink options. All you need to do is relax and tomorrow you’ll be in New Zealand.

Get your holiday off to a good start

Choose travel times that suit you. Do you prefer a night flight, or flying during the day? Do you want a longer stopover to discover a new city and break up your journey? The options are endless. You can always find the flight route that suits your needs.

Have your trip planned by specialists

Mapping out the route that is ideal for you can be a complicated puzzle. That is why our travel specialists are always there for you. Benefit from their knowledge and experience in organising trips. They easily arrange everything for you, so that you can board your flight in Economy Class with peace of mind. Before you know it, you will land at your destination on the other side of the world.

Difference Economy and Premium Economy

In addition to Economy, you can also choose from Premium Economy. When you fly with Premium Economy, the seats are a bit more spacious and larger than in Economy, so you can enjoy a little more luxury and comfort. In addition, Premium Economy is often separated from Economy and Business Class.

"Would like to make your trip to New Zealand more comfortable? I suggest flying - Premium economy class. It's really worth the upgrade!"

Plan a stopover

To break up your flight, you can choose to do a stopover. For example, stop in Singapore when you fly with Singapore Airlines, in Dubai when you fly with Emirates or in Hong Kong when you book with Cathay Pacific.

Discover a new city and their unique culture. Taste new flavours, shop and find the local gems and soak up the atmosphere. Or opt for a tropical stop in the Cook Islands. Relax in clear waters and on white sands, and continue your flight to your destination rested and refreshed.
