Australia to NZ without a passport
There have been more calls for a common border between New Zealand and Australia, this time from discount airline Jetstar. By removing customs and immigration between the two countries the flights will be classed as a domestic and not an international flight, Jetstar see this is an opportunity to fly to cheaper airports like it does at Avalon outside Melbourne. The savings can run up to $60 per flight of costs that can be written off and its this that tourism body’s and even Australian Prime Minister Keven Rudd have been counting on to boost tourism between the two countries. There’s probably a few details to sort out before anything happens (both countries have learnt their lessons on quarantine with rabbits and possums)Â but things are looking promising enough that one day a weekend in Sydney is as easy as a weekend in Auckland.Full Story

It would make life a lot easier to jump on a plane without haing to keep passports up to date and the added money spent on renewing them,is this likely to come in force in the next year or so.
