'Grab a Seat' - 1 Day only Sale
One day only (17/7) or until sold out.
Various domestic routes on sale, e.g.
WLG-AKL, $39 all in.
AKL-WLG, $39
Rumours have it that there will some more or different routes available.
Go to www.airnz.co.nz

[added at a later date]

The sale is not one day. Rather different routes and dates available on each day of the sale.
Here is a direct link to the webpage.
Note - at time of writing NZ appears to still be adding sale seats for today, but perhaps not new routes (each route shows how many seats available and some of the numbers have increased since I first looked at it).

The sales are still going. Interestingly, todays one included some for travel from this coming Friday! Not sure if this is NZ's way of helping out pax caught up in Origin Pacific's collapse, or if it is a sign they are experimenting with discounting close-ish to departure.

I usually leave my bookings to the last moment more from a lack of planning than anything else, but check the prices a few days before hand. I have noticed recently that there can be significant reductions close to the departure date.

Still one more offer to appear today, and I recall other days when they were a fewer flights on offer. Not sure if it means its over ... I hope!

My understanding is that "Grab a seat" is to be a permanent feature of the website - largely to increase web useage such as online purchase, itin changes, and new features including OLCI and seat selection for elites.

I just had a look at today's Grab-a-seat sales site. The routes on sales are still domestic only, but the map now includes the Pacific Islands (except Australia). Perhaps it's a sign of things to come?
