The up to 26% off discount is an average savings based on previous customers who have purchased a flight and then booked a qualifying hotel within a specified time period on Expedia from 1 January - 31 December 2019 as compared to the price of the same hotel booked separately as a non-qualifying transaction. Savings will vary based on origin/destination, length of trip, stay dates and selected travel supplier(s). Savings not available on all hotels.

Accommodation savings will be available when you have completed your flight booking with Air New Zealand and follow the prompts to book corresponding accommodation. After a flight booking has been made, discounted package room rates will be presented with the countdown to display how long the rates are available for, based on the date and time of flight departure.

Alternatively, retrieve an existing booking and select 'Book a hotel'.

Please note you are only able to access the package rate discount online following the purchase of your flight. Certain restrictions apply: 

• The accommodation booking needs to be made within the specific validity period as displayed on the countdown clock. This is up until the time of flight departure
• The primary traveller must be over 18 years old
• A return flight booking is required with at least 1 night between the flights
• The first night of your stay must be within three days of the day your flight lands if you have booked a round-trip flight or a multi destination flight
• Your travel must be less than 51 weeks away from the date of booking
• Other reasons as determined by Expedia

In addition, we can only offer package rate discounts when you book your trip directly on these Air New Zealand websites:

• New Zealand (including grabaseat.co.nz)
• Australia
• The USA
• Canada
• Singapore
• Japan
• Hong Kong

If you are still having trouble accessing the package rate discount, please contact Expedia directly.

If a flight delay will make you late to check-in to your hotel or other accommodation, let them know. If you miss your reservation or arrive late, you may be charged a fee, so be sure to let them know of any changes as soon as possible.

If you need to book new accommodation, we can help. You can compare your options and choose your new accommodation online.

While Expedia does not charge fees for changes or cancellations, they are required to pass along the accommodation's non-refundable rate plans or fees. Such fees are highest when cancellations occur within 48 hours of your scheduled travel dates.

Expedia, who are the merchant of record on the booking don't provide tax invoices with a GST number for prepaid reservations. If you select the pay later option and pay at the property, you will be provided a GST receipt a time of payment.

You are able to print a receipt of your booking , but it won't break out the tax component, only the information provided by the property which includes taxes and fees as part of the room rate.

More information and Expedia's reason for this can be found under Prepaid Hotel Reservations under Expedia's Terms and Conditions, which were agreed to before proceeding with your booking:

You acknowledge that except as provided below with respect to tax obligations on the amounts we retain for our services, we do not collect taxes for remittance to applicable taxing authorities. The tax recovery charges on prepaid hotel transactions are a recovery of the estimated taxes (e.g. sales and use, occupancy, room tax, excise tax, value added tax, etc.) that we pay to the hotel supplier for taxes due on the hotel's rental rate for the room. The hotel suppliers invoice us for certain charges, including tax amounts. The hotel suppliers are responsible for remitting applicable taxes to the applicable taxing jurisdictions. We do not act as co-vendors with the Supplier with whom we book or reserve your travel arrangements. Taxability and the appropriate tax rate vary greatly by location. The actual tax amounts paid by us to the hotel suppliers may vary from the tax recovery charge amounts, depending upon the rates, taxability, etc. in effect at the time of the actual use of the hotel by you. We retain service fees as additional compensation in servicing your travel reservation. Service fees retained by us vary based on the amount and type of hotel reservation.

You can earn Airpoints Dollars on every hotel or accommodation booking you make on the Air New Zealand website. You can't currently redeem your Airpoints Dollars™ on an accomodation booking.

We add these Airpoints Dollars to your account at the end of each month, once you've completed your stay. If you booked a hotel with a 'pay later' option where you paid at the hotel, please allow 35 days following check-out for this to be credited to your account.

If your expected Airpoints Dollars don't appear in your account, you can make a claim up to six months later. Just complete a Missing Airpoints Claim form. Include any supporting documents to help us verify your claim with the relevant hotel or accommodation provider.
