Air New Zealand is expected to follow suit and ditch expiry dates on Covid travel credits.

Qantas is removing the expiration dates for the credits that were due to run out at the end of the year.

Customers with these credits can request a cash refund, while Jetstar customers can use their vouchers for flights indefinitely.

Aviation commentator, Irene King, told Kate Hawkesby copying the idea would make a lot of sense.

She says it's a competitive market, particularly across the Tasman, so we're going to see change.
