Supporting New Zealand Community Services Card holders and whānau in times of need
As a Wellington-based New Zealand travel agency, we believe cost and complexity should never stand in the way when whānau must travel urgently for a bereavement, medical exigency, or family reconnection. Holders of a current New Zealand Community Services Card receive 10% to 20% off Travel Asia flight booking service fees on a trust basis.

Card Validity & Eligibility
Community Services Card policy
We respect your dignity and privacy: Travel Asia does not record, collect, or store your MSD Community Services Card number without official MSD API authorization.
- Trust-Based Declaration: We trust Community Services Card holders. A simple self-declaration confirms eligibility at checkout.
- Direct Fee Concession:The concession applies directly as a 10% to 20% discount (15% standard, 20% for exigency) on Travel Asia's booking service fee.
- Official MSD Digital Integration: As we establish our formal API partnership with the Ministry of Social Development (Te Hiranga Tangata), digital verification will be enabled seamlessly.
- Scope of Concession: Concessions apply strictly to Travel Asia agency booking and service fees. Airline base fares, fuel surcharges, and government passenger taxes are set by the operating airline.
