I scanned through 4 weeks around Christmas/New Year a couple of months ago to get an idea of peaks & lows. Lots of these dates/prices have changed, some for the better, and it’s worth redoing it.
Depends on the route, but some prices are AirNz, some are Jetstar.
Accommodation and car rentals can also be searched for.
Hopefully it helps someone!
