How booking Christchurch to Melbourne works

Type the trip the way you’d say it: “Christchurch to Melbourne on the 14th, back the following Sunday, me and my partner”. We read the dates, the people and the cabin from that, then ask the airlines for live fares.

Pick a fare and every traveller is filled in from your profile: names, dates of birth and, when a flight to Australia needs one, passports. Pay by card, and the airline issues the tickets.
