Air New Zealand's grabaseat will turn nine tomorrow and is celebrating with thousands of low priced fares, from as little as $1.

The one day birthday sale gets under way tomorrow morning, with 3,288 cheap seats, one for each of the days since grabaseat first launched, up for grabs over the course of the morning.

More than 2,000 one-way seats will be offered for between $1 and $9 on selected main centre and regional routes.

In addition, the airline will offer more than 900 seats for $99 one way on selected trans-Tasman and Pacific Island services, return fares from as little as $888 on selected Asia services and $999 on selected North and South America services.

More than 43,000 people visit Air New Zealand's grabaseat website every day in search of discounted travel offers.

Air New Zealand grabaseat Manager Jerome Knott says "grabaseat has gone from strength to strength over the past nine years and has built a solid reputation for offering customers a great deal whether they're travelling domestically or internationally."

To bag a ninth birthday bargain tomorrow, customers should get in quick at www.grabaseat.co.nz.
