How good are these Air New Zealand fares?
- Price: Great. At under $300 return you're unlikely to find better unless you drop to a budget carrier like Jetstar.
- Airline: Great. Air New Zealand is regarded as one of the best airlines in the Australia/Pacific.
- Travel time: Great. All flights are direct.
- Weather: Good. You've got off-peak autumn months and early winter months, which you could use to get into Queenstown early for snow season.
