Air New Zealand has been named Best Pacific Airline for the third year running.

The award was announced at the annual TTG Travel Awards, Air New Zealand regional director international Matthew Boyd said.

"Asia's travel industry has once again recognised Air New Zealand as the Pacific's leading airline and we're delighted to have secured our position despite stiff competition from a number of other Pacific-based carriers," he said.

Dedicated golfers can apply for a golfers-only credit card which makes donations to their chosen golf club and New Zealand golfing organisations.

When an application for a Diners Club Golf Card is approved, the card-holder's golf club is given a $10 donation. With subsequent spending, Diners donates a percentage to the New Zealand Golf Association or Women's Golf New Zealand.

If the card-holder's golf club is enrolled in the Diners Club Golf Rewards programme, it also receives reward points towards big-screen televisions, fax machines, microwaves and telephones.

Golf card-holders can also access exclusive golf travel packages.
