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.

Vote for my Nani

Vote for Pat
I would like to nominate my Nani (grandmother) Pat Alleman.I few years ago we moved to Christchurch, leaving all our family in the northisland. Nani and Grandad still fly down to see me once a year, but I need to see them more. I would love my Nani and Grandad to come and stay with me in the school holidays next year. Please vote for my Nani. Ruby O'Brien aged 10
