Destination Profile
Cheap flights to Christchurch are your ticket to the fabled lands of South Island, New Zealand. The town might have been rattled by earthquakes, but it still offers leafy parks, slow-flowing riverways, and a cutting-edge arts scene on the edge of the Canterbury plains. Linger for a little and then set your sat nav for the west. That's where the mighty Southern Alps crash to the horizon, and where you can launch jaw-dropping road trips over Arthur's Pass, under Mount Cook, and past turquoise-hued Lake Tekapo. These deals could also be for coastal adventures, taking you to the whale-splashing seas of Kaikoura or the surf lands of Oamaru.
Lovely little Lyttleton huddles on the bays of the rugged Banks Peninsula, hosting quaint cafes and unique boutiques.
North Hagley Park is the largest garden in the so-called Garden City. Come to wander the woodlands and watch swans drift across Victoria Lake.
Hit the Pacific coast on New Brighton Beach. There are wild waves and even views of the Southern Alps as you stroll the long pier.
