More new seats are to be added around Taylor Swift concert dates

Thursday, June 29, 2023

Air New Zealand is adding more than 2,000 seats to its network to cater to the ‘Swift surge’ in demand following the announcement of Taylor Swift’s Australian tour dates.

This will include new return flights from Wellington, Christchurch, and Auckland to Sydney and Melbourne, along with additional seats on existing flights. The airline has even planted a surprise for fans, naming some of the new flights ‘NZ 1989’.

News of the pop star’s New Zealand omission on the Eras Tour calendar means Kiwi Swifties have had to look offshore to get their hands on tickets.

Air New Zealand Chief Customer and Sales Officer Leanne Geraghty claimed that the airline knows thousands of Kiwi fans will be looking to secure tickets – and flights – to see Taylor Swift live.
Fans hoping to secure their flights will have to act fast, they expect the additional capacity will sell out swiftly.
