SOUTH ISLAND SPRING DEALS 2017

INTRO CHRISTCHURCH AIRPORT

CHRISTCHURCH AIRPORT is the Gateway to the South Island, that part of New Zealand which offers you easy roadies to big blue skies, large open spaces, lakes, mountains, rivers, ski-fields, fiords, glaciers and fun, in close proximity and in abundance. Perfectly positioned on the East Coast of this stunning part of the world, flying into Christchurch gives you easy access to New Zealand’s most famous scenery. Christchurch Airport partners with six airlines flying daily from most major airports in Australia, so proudly welcomes visitors from Brisbane, Gold Coast, Sydney, Melbourne and Perth (on a seasonal basis) as well as all the connecting airports across Australia.

The airport welcomed about 440,000 Australians through its doors during 2016, many choosing to fly on the world’s largest passenger plane, the Emirates A380, direct from Sydney. The airport has an integrated terminal, meaning international and domestic facilities are all under one roof, so you’re in for not only a pleasant welcome to the South Island but also an easy transfer point for dozens of onward connecting flights daily. Christchurch Airport has most of the South Island’s rental car and motorhome vehicles housed on site, so you can easily hit the road from there, on your way to those special places you’ve dreamed of experiencing around Christchurch and the wider South Island. The South Island is famous not only for spectacular scenery, great food and wine and adventures of many kinds, but also for its hospitality, so don’t be a stranger, fly into Christchurch, choose your vehicle and go looking for experiences and adventures to make you smile.
