Bit of competition across the Tasman at present, with Air NZ and Jetstar (and Qantas albeit more expensive). I've put together a bunch of example return dates over the next couple of months. Note that there are a couple of sales on ending this week, if the news is to be believed. Have checked a bunch of routes, but most major cities have flights (with connections sometimes) to Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch and Queenstown international airports.
