If you are holding a domestic ticket for travel within the next 48 hours, and you no longer wish to fly, please click here to release your seat and we will put your fare into credit.
This will help to free up seats to help get other Kiwis home.
We are wanting to ensure that our phone lines and social media channels are best placed to assist customers urgently needing to travel as such, if you are contacting us regarding holding your booking in credit or applying for a refund, please contact us after 31 March 2020. It will not matter if your travel is before this, we will be able to assist at a later date.
Thank you for your ongoing support as we work through this challenging and difficult time.
