If you want to travel to Wellington tomorrow & need to be at the office for 8.30am meeting, the Flexidate fare is going to cost you either $309 or $406 one way.
If you want to fly down after work for the weekend, the fares are $448 or $490 OW for flights departing at 4.30p, 5.30p & 7p.
That's hardly a slashed fare.
Members of my family fly Auckland Wellington return every week for work & tbh the fares don't look much different now than late last year & flights still full.
Of course there's going to be an impact but some of the comments here are a bit careless & over enthusiastic.
