Your Next Trip Could Start at the Checkout!

It’s not every day your almond flat white or last-minute travel essential could score you return flights to New Zealand… but here we are.

To celebrate our brand-new direct Jetstar flights to Hamilton and Dunedin, we’re giving away six return trips to New Zealand throughout June. All you need to do is spend $6 at a participating Gold Coast Airport retailer and enter the draw.*

How does it work?

  1. Spend $6 or more at a participating airport retailer at Gold Coast Airport. 
  2. Scan the QR code you’ll see near the checkout.
  3. Upload your receipt, pop in your details, and select which New Zealand city you’d love to explore.
     

That’s it. You’re officially in the draw. Each entry needs a separate receipt with a minimum spend of $6, so if you’re grabbing a few things across the terminal, hang onto your receipts.

Where your $6 could take you

We’re now flying direct to six epic Kiwi destinations, officially making us Australia’s most connected airport to New Zealand. It’s no big deal... but also, kind of a big deal.

Here’s where you could end up:

  • Auckland  Beaches, city buzz and skyline views for days.
  • Christchurch – Botanical beauty, trendy laneways and trails that lead to nature.
  • Dunedin – Castles, clifftops and the cutest little penguins you’ll ever see.
  • Hamilton Glowworms, gardens and underrated gems waiting to be found.
  • Queenstown – Mountain highs, lakeside wines and all the adventure.
  • Wellington – Creative, cool and home to some seriously good coffee.
