KEY POINTS:
New Zealanders are snapping up cut-price flights to Australia, as airlines try to rally interest in transtasman routes.
Emirates sold out of tickets in its 48-hour "super sale" last night, a spokesman said. The airline offered return flights to Sydney from $304, Melbourne from $284 and Brisbane from $286, including taxes, surcharges and levies.
Air New Zealand yesterday added Australian flights to its cut-price Grab a Seat website, with Auckland-Sydney flights from $132 one way.
