The NZ travel bubble: what to expect over the ditch

NZ PM Jacinda Ardern last week announced that as of Monday April 19 the travel bubble between Australia and New Zealand will reopen. And the response has been huge!

There was a “100-fold increase” in ticket sales between Australia and New Zealand after that announcement was made. Aussies are keen to head over but before you book your tickets though … a warning! We’re joined by Quentin Nolan a ski-tour operator in Queenstown; and Ben Groundwater, a writer for traveller.com.au to talk through what to to expect and what risks you might face.

Today on The Briefing - what you should know before you fly across the ditch.
