MEGAPOST! Hooray, the trans-Tasman bubble starts on April 18 at 11.59pm NZ time - so really April 19. Regardless, considering two days ago flights were over $1100 and few and far between, and required several thousand for 2 weeks of quarantine, this is just a fantastic improvement. Of course, flyer beware - the borders could still close at any time - here is how NZ would deal with cases in terms of border closures.
I've taken the liberty of finding a selection of cheap trips to NZ, with examples below as I update and find more. Note that when it's with Jetstar, carry-on of only 7kg is included.
