Flights to New Zealand
Researching and booking flights to New Zealand is so easy with a choice of airlines flying there at all hours of every day from international locations.
There are a country wide network of domestic and international airports in NZ for you to choose from for your arrival destination and departure. I have provided a list of airlines towards the bottom of this page.

NZ International Airports

Auckland Airport is the most popular for international arrivals and departures serving the largest number of passengers into and out of the country.
Other airports exist in Christchurch, Queenstown, Wellington, Hamilton, Dunedin, and Palmerston North.
You can plan your itinerary to arrive at one airport and leave from another on the other island if you want to travel around both islands of NZ, it saves you the travel time of having to return to the same airport for your return journey.
NZ Domestic Flights & Airports
Albatross New Zealand
You can use a domestic flight to get to many locations across the whole country with domestic airports from the far north to Stewart Island.
The domestic airports vary in size but they provide access to quickly fly across locations in a shorter time that if you were to drive the whole length of the country.
It's all dependent on what activities you have planned and how much time you have to travel from one location to another.
NZ Travel Times
Queenstown New Zealand
When you are planning your flights to New Zealand don't forget to consider the travel times between places to visit.
On my last visit I spent one week in the North Island and two weeks in the South Island. In order to save driving time we took a flight from Auckland to Christchurch at the end of the first week.
We booked this as a flight to Christchurch with a week long stopover in Auckland and therefore did not actually have to pay for the flight to Christchurch!
Airlines
This list of airlines provided below is in alphabetical order. No preference is given in how I have presented the list. Personally I have booked my flights to New Zealand with Air New Zealand for both my holidays. I was pleased with the service the first time in 1992 and therefore decided to use the same airline again in 2008.

Home Exchange
Have you thought about your accommodation? Why not consider a home exchange where you stay in someone elses home while they stay in yours. You can find great properties for your holiday accommodation instead of hotels!
