Peak season:
Many South African travelers book cheap flights to New Zealand to uncover its natural beauty, and the fact that one-third of the landmass is designated to national parks and reserves means that you have to take charge and seize the opportunity to explore it all. The best time to soak up New Zealand’s scenery (including over 15,000 kilometers of coastline) is during the summer months, which span from December through February. Keep in mind that flights will probably be at their most expensive during New Zealand’s peak tourism season, but if you’re set on having an authentic experience, it might well be worth some splurging.
Off season:
November and April are shoulder months in which New Zealand receives fewer visitors than compared to the peak season months. During these shoulder seasons, finding cheap flights to New Zealand will be much easier, as will finding affordable accommodation. You can also pick up a cheap flight deal to New Zealand during the winter months, which span from June through August. If you’re planning on skiing on either the North or South Island, keep in mind that flights and accommodation rates might increase during snowboard season, which runs from June to October.

If weather is an important factor for your trip to New Zealand, use this chart to help with planning. For those seeking warmer temperatures, January is the ideal time of year to visit, when temperatures reach an average of 20.0 C. Travellers hoping to avoid the cold should look outside of July, when temperatures are typically at their lowest (around 11.0 C).
If you’re planning a beach or outdoor-activity filled holiday in New Zealand, it would be best to book your flights for the summer months, somewhere between December and February. Autumn, which runs from March to May, can also be a perfect time to book a flight to New Zealand since you’ll be able to enjoy thinner crowds and much more affordable flight tickets. Whatever you do, make sure that you book your flight tickets at least six weeks in advance to get the best opportunity of finding cheap flights to New Zealand.

They changed my flight but didn't notify the other carrier. I can't do online check-in and had to wait 30 min to get it all sort out at the counter.
