Cheap and easy flights to New Zealand? Do not get too excited, aviation experts say
The New Zealand government will allow Australian travellers to enter the country without mandatory quarantine.

- Some travellers might be put off by risk of rules changing
- Australian travellers need to meet NZ government eligibility criteria
