Frequently asked questions

How much is a flight to Southland?

If you're hunting down return flights, fares ranged from $98 to $1,071 this last week. The cheapest one-way ticket prices were $49, originating from Auckland (AKL).

How to book the cheapest flight to Southland?

With some of the biggest and best flight deals around, you'll always get more for your money with Orbitz. The following suggestions will help you snap up cheap flights to Southland — and leave you with more money in your pocket:

Depending on where you're departing from, choose the 'Nearby airports' function (located under the departure and arrival options). In certain cases, alternative departure points will have more competitive fares.
Similarly, click on the 'Show flexible dates' option to compare the prices on days either side of your chosen departure. It's possible to find cheaper flight deals if your travel dates are flexible.
Hit 'Show options' to filter your search results. You can choose your preferred seating class and airline here. Under 'Sort & Filter' to the left, you can even select whether you'd like to fly in the morning, afternoon or evening.
The early bird catches the best savings, so purchase your seats once you've settled on your travel dates. The most affordable fares get snapped up first and prices increase as the departure date gets closer.
Bundle your flights, hotels and car rentals into a package deal and unlock great discounts. Save your hard-earned cash for things that really excite you, like exploring every corner of Southland.
Don't fly during peak seasons if possible. By avoiding summer and school vacations, you can save big on your airfares.

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

Book in January, February or August for the lowest airfares to Southland. Once you've located a bargain, snap it up — cheap flights are known to come and go in the blink of an eye.

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

Typically, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Saturdays are the cheapest days of the week to book flights to Southland. If you want the best airfares, search across those days and you could score an excellent flight deal.

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

Based on Orbitz data from 2020, Monday is normally the best day of the week for cheap flights to Southland. Tuesday also has wallet-friendly airfares, whereas Saturday has the most expensive ticket rates. Although flying out at the weekend can be more suitable, you'll have more money to play with if you set off early in the week.

What is the cheapest month to fly to Southland?

To book cheap flights to Southland, pack your suitcase and fly out in August. Orbitz data shows that this is generally the best month to save serious money on your fare. If you're hoping to jet to Southland in June, it's worth remembering that this is the most expensive time of year to travel.

Which airlines allow free cancellation?

Flexibility is important, that's why Orbitz lets you search for carriers that won't slap you with a fee for making amendments. Enter your departure and arrival points, then click on "Filter by flexible change policies." We'll show you options that include free cancellation within 24 hours of booking and no change fees.

What do I need for the flight to Southland?

Any lengthy flight can be daunting, but it's nothing a little preparation can't solve. We've rounded up our top tips to make sure your journey flows without a hitch:

In all cases you'll need some identification. How much? This depends on which airport you take off from. When booking, you are encouraged to use the same name, birth date and gender as shown on your government-issued ID.
Have some extra entertainment for your long trip to Southland. If you've had enough of watching movies, give your eyes a much-needed break from all that screen time and listen to some music instead.
Long-haul trips can get seriously cold, especially if you're flying overnight. If you don't want to shiver in your seat, pack a jacket and some thick socks.

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

If you think a business or first-class fare is beyond your grasp, you may want to think again. Here are some top tips to help you score a premium flight to Southland for a whole lot less:

Being flexible isn't just for the gym. Have some room to move around your travel dates so you can pick up cheaper airfares when a big sale comes along.
Many budget carriers offer top-notch business or premium-class seating without the hefty fees.
Bid for an upgrade in online auctions or upgrade through your flight loyalty scheme.
