Default Cheap Flights

Hi All

I'm planning on doing a recce to NZ next month and prices for flights seem very high. I've even tried to look at costs in all the months Sept. - Dec. and prices are pretty much the same. Does anyone know if there are cheaper flights available somewhere that aren't going to break the bank?

Thanks in advance.

Hello Laloo...you'll rarely find cheap flights but I've always found Expedia to be competitive, also you might want to try Trailfinders in the UK. I had a really good experience with their Belfast office...all the best with your recce

Laloo, last time we went over to NZ we used Flights direct. Google them. They catered to our requirements very well.

when we flew over we booked with ebookers. it ended us saving us about £1000 on the price on the Air NZ website for exactly the same flights.

What is your idea of cheap? When I first moved to NZ I would get Return flights from the UK for around GBP600 (in 2004), after I had left it was closer to GBP1,000, in the NZ Summer and Xmas expect that to be a lot higher. This is all in Economy by the way.

Hello we booked with Trailfinders and (although this isn't the route we are going) they had a deal which was around £750 return via Korea, just after summer holidays have ended. Very nice airline, family in Oz have gone that route frequently and had no problems.

Good luck

Hi there.

Just booked my flight through Fly Emirates. Still made me squeek a bit (£820) but still far cheaper that what i could find elsewhere. Thats a return also valid for a year.


Also maybe try Sta travel (uk) depending on your age i know they can offer discounts aslo.

Fingers crossed
