Air New Zealand add extra Christchurch-Wellington flights for All Whites' World Cup play-off

October 20, 2017

Over 20,000 tickets were sold in the first hour for the November play-off.

Air New Zealand will operate with additional capacity flights from Christchurch to Wellington ahead of the All Whites' intercontinental World Cup play-off against Peru on November 11.

As demand for tickets for the first-leg of the tie at Wellington's Westpac Stadium skyrocketed - with 20,000 tickets sold in the first hour alone - New Zealand's national carrier has added more flights from Christchurch to allow fans to see the match.

Additional flights have already been scheduled from Auckland to Wellington, with the prospect of even more services on the cards should demand warrant it.

Tickets for the November 11 and 12 flights are on sale effective immediately.
