What happens when you set this watch
We track every fare from your airport into Christchurch or Wellington for September 28 to October 10, 2026, round trips of 2 to 4 nights, across every airline. The moment one drops, you get one email with the dates, the price and a link to book. Free, and you can stop any time.
Know before you go
- Whale watch tours are weather dependent; book one for each morning you are in town.
- The Coastal Pacific train from Christchurch runs the scenic coast route in season.
- Christchurch is about two and a half hours south by road or train; Wellington connects by ferry and a three-hour drive.
