NZ PM Jacinda Ardern last week announced that as of Monday April 19 the travel bubble between Australia and New Zealand will reopen.   And the response has been huge!

 

There was a “100-fold increase” in ticket sales between Australia and New Zealand after that announcement was made.    Aussies are keen to head over but before you book your tickets though … a warning!  We’re joined by Quentin Nolan a ski-tour operator in Queenstown; and Ben Groundwater, a writer for traveller.com.au to talk through what to to expect and what risks you might face.
