Best Time to Fly to Christchurch, New Zealand
The southern island of New Zealand enjoys beautiful summer weather, and high season lasts from around the start of December through until March.

However, visit during the southern winter between June and August to enjoy Alpine sports and relax in the city when tourists are slightly less numerous.
Budget travelers who want to explore out of season flight deals, should check out prices between March and May, or around September and October for the best deals and mild weather.

The city has a superb public transport system, so getting around should not present any difficulties. The majority of buses will also have on-board bike racks, so feel free to cycle and ride to get the most out of your stay.
