New Zealand is a perfect destination for travelers looking to bungee jump, go caving, ski, skydive, or whatever gets them outside and moving. The people here are incredibly friendly, and the fact that New Zealand is also a budget-friendly destination just makes the deal that much sweeter. Taking a cheap flight to New Zealand is one of the best opportunities you’ll ever have for indulging in vibrant cultural and culinary experiences, losing your heart to the great outdoors, and falling in love with the “Land of the Long White Cloud” for good.

When is the best time to fly to New Zealand?

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.

How long is the flight to New Zealand?

Johannesburg to Auckland 17 hours, 25 minutes
