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.
Key points:
- Aviation experts say flights will go up if demand outstrips supply
- Some travellers might be put off by risk of rules changing
- Australian travellers need to meet NZ government eligibility criteria
But if you are thinking of racing out to book cheap flights when the trans-Tasman bubble starts on April 19, you might want to wait a while.
High demand, rule changes and rising fare prices might prove to be obstacles.
Here is why the journey may be a struggle.
Fewer flights may drive up prices
Flights will not be as easy to access as before COVID-19, and aviation experts say that could put upward pressure on prices.
