Kiwis are setting their sights on a holiday in the sun now the transtasman bubble is just two weeks away, with an immediate spike in Google searches for Brisbane flights.
The Google Trends website showed Brisbane was likely proving a more popular holiday destination for Covid-weary Kiwis, ahead of both Sydney and Melbourne.
Air New Zealand, meanwhile, has already reported being run off its feet with ticket sales after Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern today announced Kiwis and Aussies could travel quarantine-free to each country from Monday, April 19.
Air NZ said it expected to offer between three and five flights per day from Auckland to Sydney, between one and three from Auckland to Melbourne and between one and two to Brisbane.
