In yet another boost to trans-Tasman travel, Emirates has launched a new range of combination airfares.

The Emirates’ A380 superjumbo

Australian travellers can fly to New Zealand and experience Emirates’ world-renowned First Class luxury for less, with the launch of new Business and First Class combination fares.

Special introductory Business/First combination fares to Auckland start from AUD$1658 return from Melbourne, AUD$1677 from Sydney and AUD$1680 from Brisbane. For Sydney travellers seeking to travel to Christchurch, return combination airfares are from AUD$1674, including taxes.

Emirates’ trans-Tasman services boast luxurious state-of-the-art Private Suites in First Class and fully lie-flat massage beds in Business Class, and combination fares allow a generous 40kg of checked baggage for each passenger. 

All Emirates’ trans-Tasman passengers receive inflight service delivered by an international crew drawn from over 150 nationalities, menus designed by leading chefs and complemented by the finest wines, and an award-winning inflight entertainment system with up to 1200 channels.

Emirates operates 28 flights per week to New Zealand – daily to Christchurch from Sydney, and daily to Auckland from Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane. The ultra-modern Airbus A380 aircraft operates the Auckland – Sydney route, while all other services to New Zealand are operated by the Boeing 777-300ER.

Special fares are valid for travel from now until 31 January 2012. All bookings must be completed by 30 November 2011.
