What are the grabbies?

As New Zealand’s only truly Kiwi airline, we want to show what makes us special by giving away 500 return $1 airfares to kiwis making a difference in our lives.

You can nominate or vote for those inspirational kiwis making a difference in your life and the lives of your friends and family. They may be people in your community, at work, at school, in your church or social group.

What's the prize?

The 250 inspirational kiwis who receive the most votes will earn $1 return airfares for themselves and a companion to travel within New Zealand. They can choose to travel to any of our 26 dometic destinations.

Nominations are closed

Nominations are now closed. Thank you for sending us your inspirational stories. Entries and votes will be validated and we will be contacting the lucky winners next week. Check back on the grabaseat site next week to see the list of winners.

I would like to nominate myself

Vote for Rochelle
I would like to nominate myself, my husband is away training to be a Police officer for 19 weeks, he is now at week 12, I have not seen him in this time and would dearly love to be able to fly up and see my husband at least once in his time there, since we are from the lower South Island the air fares are not cheap unless you are able to get hold of one of the grab a seats (very hard), while my husband is away training, I am at home looking after our 2 sons, working full time, running the house and have no time to myself. I need a break. I would love to take both our sons up to Wellington so they can see their dad; this time away from their dad has also been very hard on them. Please vote for me so we can get our family together for some much needed time together. Thanks

Hi
There is nothing worse than trying to manage a household, children and work full time, while at the same time missing your husband/dad. I hope you get the chance to take the children on a trip to see there Dad and you have a break and some Mum & Dad time.

Good Luck
Liz
