Brimming with attractions galore, the kiwi nation – New Zealand has long been an important tourist destination across the globe. Be it Auckland or Wellington, every nook and cranny of the nation packs in myriad charms to pleasingly stun the visiting rovers who painstakingly book air tickets aboard cheap flights for holidays to the nation! But, like other global destinations, it remains important to mull over weather and climatic conditions before booking tickets on direct/indirect flights arriving in New Zealand. Owing to country’s stupefying diversity, the ideal months for holidays to the country largely depends on what one wants to do! Here’s a little smattering on the best time to visit New Zealand for those planning to book tickets aboard flights bound for the country to experience the best this country has on offer!

For skiing adventures
For ski enthusiasts, the months of June to September remain the best time to book tickets on flights for holidays to New Zealand. During this period, New Zealand ski fields brim with plenty of open bowls and gentle slopes for novice skiers and off-piste skiing for the more adventurous one’s on flights to the country. However, it is important to make bookings for air tickets and accommodations well in advance as a huge number of skiers flock to the country for skiing on the fresh virgin snow during this time.

For spotting penguins and whales
Many family vacationers are often to be seen in a look out for tickets aboard scheduled direct/indirect flights to introduce their kids to the fascinating creatures such as penguins and whales in New Zealand. Though these creatures are visible year round, they are quite frequently sighted in large numbers in the winter months of June to September. These months make for the best time to enjoy whale watching cruises, swim with dolphins and view the yellow-eyed penguin from close quarters.

For hiking on glaciers
Hiking on glaciers in New Zealand is available for tourists year-round. But owing to favourable weather conditions, the summer months of December to March make for the best time to invest on air tickets onboard international flights to indulge in glacier hiking activities.

For beach bums
New Zealand features several sun-kissed beaches and for beach bums planning to book tickets on flights to the destination with an intention to lounge languidly along the scintillant shores, the months of January and February remains the best bet. But owing to agreeable weather conditions and pleasant climate, these months beget huge crowds and skyrocketing prices. And it makes sense to make travel and hotel bookings well in advance.

For budget tourists
The low tourist months of June to October remains the cheapest time to book air tickets to New Zealand. But the prices usually remain on the higher side at the popular ski resorts in country due the huge influx of skiers. In addition, the shoulder tourist months of March to May and September to November also remains a good time to net cheap flights and accommodation deals.
