AIR - Air NZ.

Sounds though you have to pay full price if you want to return :

Exactly!

Same as the international ‘sale’.

Great deals though if you are flying one way

True.

AIR boosts they have 400 flights per day - which would be 2800 per week. This 1000 cheap one way seats might wear a bit thin across the number of flights they have ... if the sale is for a week than it would be only one cheap seat on every third plane :

Well, that's probably referring to these single person families . Growing demographic, they say, which is a bit sad, but AIR is clearly catching the trend to cater for them:

according Dr. Google:

The single-person household is a household that contains one person who lives alone. In a culture that includes family and marriage as part of the American Dream, the single-person household is a growing demographic.

Buy a $9 ticket for all your family and never come back ...

So the zillions they’ve spent on collecting customer data and analytics and all that stuff is being put to good use ...identifying the single person family

Suppose one gets Elite points as well on these tickets?

AIR website crashed at 9 ....demand so hot ....virus not putting people off flying

Great advertising ...pity they couldn’t fulfil punters expectations and excitment

Maybe another offer tomorrow

[Jaa]

Historically these kind of shocks have been good for Air NZ long term as they drive out any struggling competitors. Leisure demand always more affected than business travel.

Jetstar and Qantas have reduced flights across the Tasman by 5%. Virgin has announced a 3% cut across the Tasman. You would think an already struggling Virgin will be hurt the most.

Should also see some rationalisation from Gulf airlines and from airlines flying to US/Canada.

Shhh - you really shouldn't use the "v" word these days ... scaremongers waiting behind every corner ... and who knows, maybe they have one of these you know what already in their system?

Air Asia X (i.e. long haul) offering me all I can fly for one year for MYR499 (NZ$200).

It comes with a few caveats that adds a few more ringgit to each flight that you can actually book but it is making headlines.
