Aotearoa Community & Whānau Programme

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.
