Which airline would you recommend to get to Christchurch from UK or Spain?

Singapore Airlines from Heathrow, don't know about Spain. I'm not sure that you have as much choice going into Christchurch direct as you would Auckland.

Why would you particularly recommend Singapore Airlines?

The service is excellent. The flight attendants couldn't have been more helpful, especially with the children. The in-flight entertainment was more than enough to keep anyone occupied for the length of the flight with a choice of 80 films plus music and games in each seat. The food was very pleasant. I also sat next to a frequent flyer who said they were her airline of choice for the route.

If I was coming from Spain I'd take Singapore Airlines. I have a friend in Madrid who came out to Christchurch last year and that is the airline he and his two boys ( 9 and 11) came out on. Madrid to Frankfurt, Frankfurt to Singapore, Singapore to Christchurch. He said the service was top notch.

I think that Singapore Airlines are the only ones that fly directly to Christchurch.

Lots of other airlines advertise flights to Christchurch, however they generally go via Auckland either as a stop or you change flights

WE flew with Singapore in April and were impressed too. We flew into Christchurch.
