Air New Zealand shares the love by bringing expats a little piece of home to the rooftop movies
Not even an unseasonal bout of rain could stop Air New Zealand from bringing over 700 homesick Kiwis a little taste of home over the weekend, taking over Rooftop Movies to bring bits and bobs of New Zealand straight to their doorstep.
Over 13-14 April, the national airline shared the love by holding “A Little Piece of Home” movie nights in Perth, providing expat attendees and their guests a whole host of Kiwi treats.
The event was curated by Kiwis for Kiwis, with the movie and music on the night chosen by the Air New Zealand Australia Facebook community. Guests at the event were shouted dinner, a round of drinks and were able to enjoy NZ Sauvignon Blancs, Pinot Noir and NZ- brewed cider and beer.
The airline also went the extra mile and provided a few lucky attendees with their most missed items from home. The special Kiwi surprises ranged from confectionery, including Kiwi Toffee Pops, Squiggles and Rashuns, flavoured chips, to even a jar of boiled eggs to emulate the smell of Rotorua!
To top off the weekend of surprises, Air New Zealand gave unsuspecting Kiwi expat Ben Young, who was celebrating his birthday, the ultimate gift; a surprise visit from his parents. “I couldn’t miss anybody more than my mum and dad. Bringing my parents over, it’s the biggest surprise I could ever think of. Words can’t describe, it’s been amazing.”
Kelly Millier, Marketing Manager, Air New Zealand said, “We know there are a heap of Kiwi expats living in Western Australia who are actively engaged with our brand. We wanted to bring them ‘a little piece of home’ for a night as well as extending a great sale deal on our non-stop service to NZ to all West Australians keen to head across the ditch later in the year.”
