 Air New Zealand [NZX: AIR] has plunged into the competitive airfare market with an offer of 1000 seats on all domestic flights at just $10 each.

It says the Grabaseat promotion celebrates the website's 10th anniversary. The sale also includes thousands of cut-rate fares for international destinations and thousands within the country for less than $39.

General manager market development and retail sales Annabelle Fowler says Grabaseat has experienced "phenomenal" growth since its creation in 2006 with more than 28,000 people visiting the site on average each day.

“Customers have taken up more than 1.8 million Greenlight Deals over the past 10 years, covering some 840 million kilometres," she says.

"That’s equivalent to more than 1000 return trips to the moon or 23,000 return trips between Auckland and London."

Grabaseat  offers can sell out in minutes. Earlier this week, Grabaseat planted a supersized cake in Auckland’s Takutai Square in Britomart. It featured surprise gifts, including return international and domestic flights for two.
