Air New Zealand offers a flexible South Pacific Airpass valid on flights to 36 locations in the Pacific islands, New Zealand, and Australia. The map shows some of the places where the pass can be used.

The fare levels vary according to four domestic and three international zones, costing anywhere from NZ$120 to NZ$408 for a domestic flight within New Zealand or NZ$400 to NZ$834 for flights between Australia and New Zealand or to the Pacific islands.

Zone 1 flights within the Pacific islands include Rarotonga-Fiji and Apia-Tonga, all costing NZ$400/480 supersaver/standard per hop. For the same price you can fly from Auckland to Fiji, Tonga, Norfolk Island, or Noumea. Zone 2 includes Auckland to Tahiti, Rarotonga, or Apia at NZ$550/660 per flight.

If you arrived at an Air New Zealand gateway aboard a Star Alliance carrier, you're eligible for a NZ$20 discount per sector on these flights (which are quoted here in New Zealand dollars).

The South Pacific Airpass is an ideal way to add an extra destination or two to a trip. For example, travelers planning a trip to Australia or New Zealand can use it to visit the Pacific islands. Those already stopping on an island can use it to visit other islands and/or Australia/New Zealand.

The class of service determines the exact supersaver/standard fare, based on availability. The less expensive "supersaver" seats sell out first, then bookings must be at the slightly higher "standard" rates.
