Budget airlines are all about yield management.

In addition to high street based travel resources you have three main search criteria on the Internet for tracking down your cheap flights to New Zealand:

1. Book flights direct with the airline

2. Book flights through an online travel agent

3. Book through PCWs (price comparison websites)

• An example of an online travel agent is flightline, dial-a-flight or travelrepublic

• An example of a PCW is cheapflights or skyscanner

Remember that if you book through a PCW you're booking through a third party. That means you're likely to pay a higher price to cover the commission for that PCW.

Always check prices direct with the companies for cheap airfares to New Zealand. In fact you'll often find that a search on a PCW will return the web addresses for the companies offering flights to New Zealand making it easier for you to go to them direct.
