Domestic Flights over Christmas/New Year eg Auckland to Wellington $108 Return, Christchurch to Auckland $122 Return and More

There’s a little over 3500 hours until Christmas, and about 2700 hours until my street puts up their Christmas lights, so I thought I’d look up to see what the cheap flights domestically over Christmas looked like. Here are some of the best return tickets I found. If nothing else, if you’re looking to fly at Christmas, think of it as ‘this is how high it is currently’ and it’ll probably only increase as we get closer :/

Some flights are Jetstar, some are AirNZ. All are return prices.

Don’t forget accommodation - it also fills up fastl!
