The Loop Duty Free at Auckland International Airport marked the start of the October school holidays with a fun and interactive Halloween themed in-store activation.

“We’re thrilled to see families getting out and travelling again,” said Fwu Wren Loh, General Manager, The Loop Duty Free.

“Halloween seemed like a great excuse to put smiles on the faces of travellers of all ages as they head away for the school holidays.”

Visitors to the Halloween themed store were greeted by friendly witches and could spin the prize wheel for a chance to win a treat.

Over 1,000 prizes were given away over the first few days of the holidays.

These included branded drink bottles, fragrances, passport holders, travel bags and toiletry bags, as well as lots of Halloween confectionery.

In addition, 4,000 fun activity packs were handed out to children to help keep them busy inflight.

Children were also able to have their photos taken among the not-so-scary, cobwed-covered tombstones.

The Halloween activation ran until 17 October.
