Planning a Vacation?
Planning a vacation and searching for flights and hotels is often the least fun part about holidaying. Instead of keeping your eye out on the papers for daily specials, and trawling through website after website looking for the best deals, you can now book all of your travel online from NZS.com’s new travel deals section.
Powered by Wego, we’ve launched a travel search section which gives you access to the best travel deals available online, anywhere! Do you often get frustrated flicking between browser windows of airline websites and online travel agents, just trying to work out who has the best deals? From one simple page, you can search over 100 different travel websites and produce the results for you in a simple yet comprehensive and customisable results page. Planning a vacation could not be easier.
Need to filter by airline, flight time, price range, location… or anything else? It’s easy and it updates immediately as you change the variables – so there is no need to reload the page each time you make a change.
Your search will also be updated instantly while you’re on the page with any other deals that are made available – the system is continually checking for updates from its providers, even while you are browsing over the results it has already produced. This is particularly great because our travel deals section also displays sale fares from budget airlines such as Jetstar and Pacific Blue, which many online travel websites won’t show you.
Searching for hotels, package deals and attractions and researching articles, news and photos on your destination can all be done from NZS.com’s new travel deals section. The holiday season airplanes are boarding… where are you off to next?
Searching for Flights
Simple, fast and easy, searching for cheap flights on NZS.com can have the best deal from any airline in your hands in seconds.
Simply enter the departure and arrival destinations, dates you want to go, cabin class and passenger quantity and hit Search Multiple Travel Sites.
From there, you’ll be presented with the deals from lowest to highest price, and you can start filtering the results to get the perfect deal to suit your needs. Use the left hand navigation menu to select the stops you’d like to make, the hours you’d like to travel in, your favourite airlines, airports, cabin class, price range, currency, and even aircraft type!
Hotels Are Easy Too!
Finding a cheap hotel is easy as well, simply click the hotels tab, enter your dates and destinations and hit Search Multiple Travel Sites. You can choose your star rating too, or wait and see which deals can be found first.
Automatically sorted by popularity, you can change the filter by price or stars depending on your specific needs.
Again, the left hand navigation menu is your best friend for customising your travel deals. If you’re picky about your hotel must haves (swimming pool, health club, broadband) you can tick your favourite boxes to ensure you only see accommodation that has your required amenities. You can also search by property type – hostels are great for students; hotels for couples; apartments for families – and even choose your hotel chain of preference.
Getting a Package Deal
Package deals are quick and easy to find using the Packages tab. Just choose your destination and browse every package deal that can be found online – perfect for when you want an all-inclusive, no stress holiday.
Package deals often include several stops, all flights, accommodation, meals, drinks and even activities in the price. Packages are particularly great if you haven’t been to a region before and wouldn’t know how to go about trying to plan a multi-destination vacation yourself, you can let our virtual travel agents do that for you, while you still get a great price!
Find the Best Activities Ahead of Time
Going sightseeing? Paying on the day will mean you’ll be paying the full rack rate for booking activities, theme parks, tours, cruises and shows.
Choosing your destination in the Activities tab will produce great prices and ideas on things to do while you’re on holiday, and allow you to pre-book and pre-pay. You can search by price, popularity, activity type (day tour, night cruise, water activity – got your attention yet?), and perfect for the kids – by duration.
Researching Before You Book
Narrowed it down to three hotels, two airlines and a handful of activities, but not sure how to choose? Click on the research tab to find independent information about your travel destination plans before you book. Just enter the aspect of your trip you want to know more about (e.g., hotel name), and click the types of media you want to search.
You can select travel magazines, newspaper articles, guide books, hotel reviews, photos, videos, forums and blogs and even industry news. You’ll then be able to read over information from sought-after sources and get a wider perspective on what you’re about to book from someone other than the provider themselves – meaning feeling good about making a decision on quality!
