Ask a Broker: What should I book first?

Planning a trip can be exciting, but knowing where to start isn't always easy. Should you book your flights first, lock in your accommodation, or start with that once-in-a-lifetime tour you've been dreaming about?

It often depends on where you're going, when you're travelling, and what you want to do along the way. Some experiences have limited availability, while flight prices and accommodation options can change as your dates get closer.

Your travel broker can help you work out what to book first and how to bring all the pieces together, so you can make the most of your time away without feeling overwhelmed by the planning.

Planning your next trip? Talk to your local NZ Travel Broker to get started. ✈️

Ask a Broker: Should I wait for a sale?

It’s a great question and one we hear a lot.

Sales can offer good value, but they’re rarely as simple as “everything is cheaper.” Most are tied to specific travel dates, limited seat availability, or certain room categories, which means they don’t always suit your plans.

For peak periods like school holidays or popular destinations, waiting for a sale can actually work against you. As availability tightens, prices often increase, and the best options sell out first.

Another thing to consider is that some of the best value isn’t always labelled as a “sale.” Early release fares, added extras like upgrades or onboard credit, and well-timed bookings can often deliver just as much, if not more, value.

It really comes down to timing, flexibility, and knowing what to look for.

Enjoy peace of mind knowing you’ve booked the right option at the right time. Contact your local NZ Travel Broker to help plan your next trip. ✈️

Ask a Broker: Is it still safe to travel right now?

Safety is always the top priority for airlines and travel providers.

Due to the current situation in parts of the Middle East, there are ongoing disruptions to airspace, which means some flights are being rerouted, delayed, or cancelled.

Travel is still operating, but plans may change at short notice depending on the situation.

If you have upcoming travel, it’s important to stay informed. When you book with a NZ Travel Broker, we keep an eye on your flights and help you navigate any changes, so you’re not dealing with it alone.

All scheduled Emirates flights to/from Dubai remain suspended until 2359 UAE time on 07 Mar, due to the airspace closures across the region.

EK continues to monitor the situation, and says it will develop its operational schedule accordingly.

The latest flight updates will be published on its website, passengers are urged to check the EK website before travelling to the airport.
