Jetstar adds Auckland route

Jetstar Airways will add Auckland to its list of destinations come Mar 17, flying there daily with tickets starting at $448 excluding taxes and miscellaneous fees. This will get you there in time for the Auckland Arts Festival (through Mar 20) featuring a line-up of local and international productions from India, Vietnam, Taiwan and Bolivia. Nicknamed the City of Sails, glamorous yachts are available for rent, so get decked out in your nautical best. Those who fancy a leap of faith can bungy jump off the tallest man-made structure in New Zealand: The 192-meter-tall Sky Tower. Auckland is also home to the biggest Polynesian population of any city in the world and elements of their diverse culture can be found almost everywhere. Take flight at www.jetstar.com.
