Photo: File/NZ HeraldAirports and airlines are gearing up for the delayed announcement on the timing of a quarantine-free transtasman bubble, with red and green zones in place and increased capacity already in the system. A two-way bubble with the Cook Islands is scheduled to start some time in May. NZ Airports says its members ''couldn't be keener'' to get quarantine-free travel to Australia and the Cook Islands going. Qantas and Jetstar will offer frequent flyers uncapped 'Classic Flight Reward' seats for the first three days of travel when the bubble opens. Bachcare spokeswoman Zaina Razzaq said figures showed a marked increase in Australian travellers researching and booking accommodation across the Tasman - despite not having a confirmation of a quarantine-free travel bubble.
