Within weeks, travellers from both countries will be able to fly across the Tasman and visit without the need to quarantine on arrival.
Australian states will be subject to a traffic light system and quarantine could be required if an outbreak does occur.
It’s not just friends, family and those busting for an OS holiday who are excited – Air New Zealand and Qantas are just as hyped.
The jokes have already started online, with Air New Zealand’s Greg Foran sending Qantas CEO Alan Joyce a pavlova which was covered in kiwi fruit.
This was a “heartfelt Kiwiana gift.”
Thanks for the pav @FlyAirNZ… it looks familiar 🤔 pic.twitter.com/3oU50pHvZI

Qantas sent the love back, although they were bummed out they couldn’t send Crowded House in the overhead locker.
@FlyAirNZ, some of Australia’s finest is headed your way (sadly @CrowdedHouseHQ couldn’t fit in the overhead locker 😉) pic.twitter.com/LR7BI4YUTR
