Warriors fans will be able to fly non-stop to Las Vegas to support the team next year with Air New Zealand's Grabaseat launching a special one-off charter flight between Auckland and Las Vegas.  

The Economy package starts from $4,999 and is stacked. With return flights, five nights' accommodation at The Park MGM, tickets to watch four games of rugby league (including the One New Zealand Warriors vs. the Canberra Raiders), and the promise of an incredible time, it's an opportunity too good to miss.  

The flight, named NZ1995 in a nod to the Warriors' inaugural year, is set to be a full house, hosted by Warriors superfans Dai Henwood and Ben Hurley. The direct service will depart for Las Vegas on 25 February 2025, landing back in Aotearoa on 4 March 2025. 

Air New Zealand Chief Customer and Sales Officer Leanne Geraghty says the airline is expecting the one-off deal to fly out the door, so fans should play their cards right and get in quick.  

"We all know Wahs happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas, so fans won't want to miss the opportunity to jump on board and experience the magic of the Warriors among the bright lights of Las Vegas.  

"The package means all the planning is done for fans. With five nights to explore the city, accommodation included, game day tickets, and a special fan function, it's the perfect chance to take a bet on the boys to win big in Vegas.  

"The trip will kick off with a Warriors-themed flight, celebrating all things Wahs with giveaways and activities onboard. We're anticipating the offer will be snapped up fast so if you want to avoid missing the getaway of a lifetime, hedge your bets and get in quick." 

One NZ Warriors CEO Cameron George says the flight is a tremendous opportunity for fans to be a part of history. 

"Everyone knows how amazing our supporters are. They prove it week in, week out, no matter where we play. 

"Now they have the opportunity to be part of what's certain to be a truly special experience in Las Vegas."
