Currently, October is the cheapest month in which you can book a flight to Christchurch (average of $122). Flying to Christchurch in January will prove the most costly (average of $189). There are multiple factors that influence the price of a flight so comparing airlines, departure airports and times can help keep costs down.
Peak season
Christchurch’s peak tourist season coincides with the summer holiday months of December through to February, when warm temperatures and clear skies are the norm and local tourists are on their annual vacation. Accommodation and flight tickets can get booked out and crowds experienced at many of the city’s most popular tourist destinations. The Easter weekend is another particularly busy time, while the surrounding ski fields see their peak conditions and biggest crowds over the winter months of June through to August.
Off season
Both Spring and Autumn are quieter times to visit Christchurch when the weather is still warm and good accommodation and flight deals can be found. Changing leaves throughout the city’s historic streets are beautiful from March through to May, while its reputation as the “Garden City” is evident during the Spring flower blooms from September through to November.

Unfortunately there was a screaming child on the flight. No ones fault but literally hurt my ears and made them crackle. I didn’t eat or drink on the flight.
