Question

How much does it cost to fly from North Island, New Z. to South Island, New Z. and how long is the journey?

Answer 1

Normally it's only about 1 and a half hours and should cost (NZ$) around $200-$400 depending on where you're flying to, and the time you're travelling.

Answer 2

It depends when, where, and how far you book in advance. Check out zuji.co.nz for some good prices. If you fly into bigger cities like Christchurch instead of Queenstown you'll get a better rate.

Answer 3

Well it depends on where you fly from and to. But if you fly from a major city and depending on when you book and when you travel you could pay under $100 one way. You woulnd't be looking at a flight any longer than 2 hours. There are 2 major domestic carries

Air New Zealand and QANTAS. I recommend you visit both airlines sites and compare fares. I've found in the past you generally get a better fare with QANTAS but Air New Zealand has better frequency and flys to more cities within NZ.

Answer 4

When I flew from Christchurch to Auckland (in just under 2 hrs - if I remember correctly!) it cost me NZ$87, but that was because I booked it 2 weeks in advance.  Generally the closer you book to the time you want to fly, the more expensive it is (this is what I found anyway)

Answer 5

You can also drive between Islands.

A regular ferry from Wellington to Picton will cost about $30 per person and about $150 per vehicle. The trip takes about 3hrs but is very scenic.
