This is a website set up by Air New Zealand, the national
airline of this great country. Every
morning hundreds of cheap seats are put up for sale giving passengers the
chance to fly between set destinations for a fraction of the normal price. It’s simply a matter of watching out for
something that interests you and you GRAB it!
We flew to Auckland for lunch one day, even though it is only an hour
and half drive away. Every few months
they do crazy things like $1 airfares and such. There are usually a selection
of seats to various other Pacific Islands and Australia and every few weeks
they include flight to almost all of their worldwide destinations. If only we were rich……..and didn’t have to
work. Damn. Anyway, about a year ago they added something
a little different to the bargain and that is a reverse auction. Every 15 minutes during the day a few tickets
to one of their domestic or international destinations is advertised with a
clock which runs backwards for a minute.
With each second, the price drops and the first person to stop the clock
gets the tickets for the price that it was stopped at. So the real gambler will wait until the
minute is almost over as the price could be a mere $1 by then. If only other airlines did this as well.
