TG booking fast tracks NZ visa

BANGKOK, 12 April 2016: Thai Airways International is selling a “Hello New Zealand” promotion to mark the 60th anniversary of Thailand-New Zealand diplomatic relations, linked to visa fast-track services.

There are three packages on offer in the promotion.

Auckland Stayover: Roundtrip tickets and one night’s accommodation, starting at THB25,715.

Fly and Drive, North Island: Four days/ three nights package: Roundtrip tickets and three nights accommodation and rental car, starting at THB39,600.

Fly and Drive, North Island and South Island: 10 days/ nine nights: Roundtrip tickets and nine nights accommodation and rental car, starting at THB66,100.
