Stopovers en route

If you fancy breaking up the journey and spending a bit of time in a different city before you arrive in Christchurch, you can try a multistop booking. This is an ideal option if you have well and truly been bitten by the travel bug, and want to explore as far and wide as possible.

With a multistop booking, you can mix and match up to five different destinations to make the most out of your overseas adventure. See which combinations you can find using our international multistop booking engine. It frequently works out as the same price to separate the journey as it does to fly directly, so what's not to like?

Every seat is comfortable, and a delicious meal and huge entertainment range both come as standard for all our passengers. However, if you want your experience to be more premium, then explore treating yourself to Premium Economy or Business Premier.

Your destination: Christchurch

Christchurch is a stunning heritage city that epitomises charm. A jewel of the South Island, it has both inner city appeal and beachside attractions that will please every visitor.

If you're looking to relax and take in the stunning views, then this is the right spot for you. The picturesque Aoraki Mount Cook – the highest mountain in New Zealand – dominates the skyline. From its snowy peak downwards, the nature that surrounds Mount Cook will inspire and soothe you. There are beautiful hikes and walking trails for you to tread if you want to take in the fresh air, while a stroll through the city itself is just as beautiful.

Adventure-seekers will also feel right at home here as there are plenty of opportunities to indulge in some of New Zealand's adrenaline-fuelled activities. Thanks to the dramatic landscape, you can try your hand at mountain biking or white water rafting, and the renowned bungy jump at Hanmer Springs is just a couple of hours away from the city centre.

Retail therapy is at its best in Christchurch, with fabulous malls and shopping complexes to help you lighten your purse. For a haven of vineyards, the renowned Waipara Valley is home to a number of wineries where you can sample some of New Zealand's finest produce.

Whatever your idea of a perfect getaway, Christchurch will not disappoint.
