Buying Flights now or later to New Zealand?

Question

I am flying to NZ, from London, in December this year. I have looked at flights now and they are pretty expensive.

If I wait another 2 months will they have gone up by much? or be pretty much the same as they are now?

Answer 1

if you know your going in december and have the money probably a good idea to go ahead and buy your ticket now.

with fuel prices rising, more than likely tickets will go up more, and closer to the holidays tickets are definately going to be more

Answer 2

The sooner you buy the ticket the better.

December is an expensive month to fly to NZ as lots of people go home for Christmas hols.

If you wait there is also a big ch ace that fuel surcharges will rise again.

Answer 3

Another factor is that flight to NZ over December / Jan can fill completely.  If you leave it too late you might not get a flight at all

Answer 4

it would be better to buy them now for 2 main reasons

one of them being the rising cost of fuel means that the later you book the tickets the more expensive the fuel will be so the more expensive the ticket (trust me i made than mistake)

and the other is flights are always cheaper when bought early as air line companies put the flight tickets up at last minute as the know that if someone needs to urgently go to a buissness meeting in another country they are willing to pay a higher price

hope this helps

oh and try this sight to compare the pice of tickets (its really good i got a return ticket to spain for like £60)

Answer 5

Go ahead and buy them now...They're gonna get expensive. And they're gonna get expensive fast. Trust me, if you're paying less than 500 dollars for them, its cheap. Thats the cheapest they're gonna get. The closer it gets, and the less seats they have, its gonna get more expensive.
