Frequently asked questions

Reserve a fare with one of the 20 airlines that operate services to Queenstown Intl. Airport (ZQN) and come prepared for amazing new adventures. This popular airport is the entryway for exploring Otago. When it's time to check off this region, these trusted carriers will take you there:

The Flying Kangaroo - 31 flights to Otago per month

What is the best airport to fly to in Otago?

There's one main entrance point for this area — Wanaka (WKA). Book your tickets for this popular gateway and see all that Otago has to offer.

How much is a flight to Otago?

Lots of sensational deals were up for the taking this week, with return flights to Otago ranging between $103 and $1,046. But it was passengers starting their trip from Auckland (AKL) who scored the really big bargains. One-way flights to Otago started at just $49.

How to book the cheapest flight to Otago?

Scoring cheap flights to Otago is as easy as booking your ticket with Orbitz. But if you're eager to make sure you're getting the best flight deals around, here are a few tips your wallet will love:

Departing from or landing at other airports can help you save on airfares. Type in your preferred departure and arrival airports. Next, select the 'Nearby airports' function below to see your options.
If you're flexible with your schedule, click on the 'Show flexible dates' link. It'll display the flight deals for the days before and after your chosen departure. Airfares often vary depending on the day of the week.
To optimize your results, click on 'Show options.' You can search based on airlines, seating class, and nonstop and refundable flights. You can also choose your preferred departure and arrival times under 'Sort & Filter' to the left.
Once you've figured out your travel dates, don't waste time booking your flight. Fares generally climb as the departure date gets closer.
Make serious savings on your trip by combining your flights, hotels and car rental into a package. Your travel budget will thank you for it.
Don't fly during peak seasons if possible. By avoiding summer and school vacations, you can save plenty on your airfare.

What is the best time to book a flight to Otago?

Pick up a bargain and book your tickets to Otago in January. If you've missed this month, don't stress. February and August often have affordable airfares too. Be careful not to snooze on a sale — cheap flights come and go in the click of a mouse!

What day of the week is the cheapest to book a flight to Otago?

Land a fantastic flight deal by making a booking on a Tuesday, Wednesday or Saturday. Typically, these are the best days to land cheap fares to Otago.

What is the cheapest day of the week to fly to Otago?

Everyone enjoys a great bargain, so we suggest setting off earlier in the week to nab cheap flights to Otago. Orbitz data from 2020 shows you can snap up the best prices on flights that take off on Mondays. Tuesdays are the next cheapest day, while Saturdays are the dearest. Many people like to start their vacation at the weekend, so leave those Saturdays for binge-watching your favorite movies.

What is the cheapest month to fly to Otago?

If you're flexible with your travel dates, think about jetting off in August. Orbitz data shows that this is generally the best month to travel if you want cheap flights to Otago. As you would expect, fares get pricier in June and flights book out fast.

Which airlines allow free cancellation?

Things change, and your flight should be able to do the same. That's why Orbitz makes it a breeze to search for fares with free cancellation and no change fees. Just enter your travel details and then choose "Filter by flexible change policies." Now that's peace of mind!

What do I need for the flight to Otago?

It's wise to be prepared for anything when going on a trip. Keep in mind the following pointers for a smooth journey:

In all cases you'll need to show proof of identification. How much? This depends on where you're traveling from. When booking, you are encouraged to type in the same name, gender and birth date as displayed on your government-issued ID.
If you're flying directly to Otago, it's likely you're going to be in the air for quite some time. Pack lots of snacks and entertainment to keep you occupied. Now is a great time to dive into that book you haven't read yet!
Cabin temperatures can make you shiver. Bring a sweater even if you're heading off during the peak of Otago summer.

How many direct flights are there to Otago?

Get to Otago quickly on one of the 4 direct flights that touch down here each month. For a comfortable and stress-free trip, have a look at the nonstop services from Sounds Air.

How do I get cheap first-class/business deals to Otago?

There are ways of booking business or first-class fares to Otago that won't burn a hole through your budget. Claim a seat at the front of the plane for less with these great tips:

Be more flexible with your travel dates and hold out for sales or exclusive offers on first or business-class airfares.
Look for a budget carrier that has seats in business class. They often come with extra space and a glass of Champagne — and a more appealing price.
Bid for an upgrade in online auctions or upgrade your fare with frequent flyer loyalty programs.

What is the best time to go to Otago?

May, September and October is the most popular time to visit Otago. If you're eager to arrive when the weather's warmer, purchase your flights during summer. Temperatures typically fluctuate between 50 ºF in the evening and 60 ºF during the day at this time of year. Like most destinations in the Southern Hemisphere, the summer season in Otago begins December 1.

Fare, taxes & fees: Fares include all taxes and fees, except baggage fees. Rates shown reflect fares found by other Orbitz users over the past 7 days. Due to rapidly changing airline prices & seat availability, these fares may no longer be available.
