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.

I like the polite and friendly air crew. Boarding from the aircrew was fine and orderly, however the Changi gate staff were disorderly and chaotic. I found the economy seating was way too small for a full service airline. It seems about the same size now as the budget carriers and I’m not sure if the value for money is there anymore. The saving grace with that is the generous baggage allowance. Our Singapore Darwin leg was on a 737-800, a small plane for an almost 5 hour journey. As was the case on our Darwin Singapore leg, the flight was full. So it was quite hot and unpleasant for the hour extra we had to wait on the runway before we actually took off. Total time in that cramped seat was close to 6hrs and no way of sleeping even with the fatigue of our 12.5hr Munich Singapore flight preceding it. I love Singapore Airlines and value our sole full service direct connection from Darwin, but we paid a lot of money for the cheap seats and it appears that the airline has slipped since we last flew with them in 2019.
