Hi,

I know I have left it late but I am looking to fly to New Zealand for Xmas and was wondering if anyone had any ideas how I could do it on the cheap... I am after all just a back packer :)

Budget airlines, anything overland to cut down the price, last min deals... you know thw kind of thing.

Cheers, Allison

Hi!
Normally you won't get any cheap flights last minute. The scheduled flights are cheaper if you book in advance. There is also no way of telling you how to get the cheapest flight. Sometimes the best is to book online, but other times it's cheaper to book in a travel agency. But you also have to try different travel agencies, as each one could have their own seats and prices at an airline.
Get as much offers as possible and then don't wait too long.

Good luck!

travel on

Melvin

It is easy to say they are the cheapest when the only major competitor is Quantas.

It feels like the days of cheap long haul flights are over. airlines are cutting back on flights rather than cut prices. It is possible to use budget airlines to hop all the way south but not sure it would actualy be any cheaper
