New Zealanders booked to travel during the holidays have been urged to consider taking out travel insurance by Air New Zealand.
Travellers often have big plans for memorable summer holidays, yet every year events outside an airline’s control, such as bad weather, means traveller’s plans go awry, Air NZ chief strategy networks and alliances officer Nick Judd said.
“Most customers don’t think twice about taking out insurance for overseas trips, but it’s a step that’s often forgotten for domestic journeys,” Judd said. “When the unexpected happens, the extra money paid to insure your journey could end up being money very well spent.”
Judd mentioned Air NZ’s flight offering of getting Ed Sheeran fans from Auckland to Dunedin in March.
“We know that customers will have made a significant investment in show tickets, flights and accommodation. So, considering taking out travel insurance for events like music concerts and sporting fixtures makes for good common sense,” he said.
Air NZ said it is a busy summer ahead and it will operate 2.2 million seats across its domestic network over the peak December-January period, 90,000 more than the same period last year.
