Editorial snapshot
Wellington rewards the traveller who books early for the Southern Hemisphere summer (December to February) and is willing to connect through Auckland or Sydney. Fares are rarely as cheap as Bali or Bangkok, but the city is compact, English-speaking, and low-stress to navigate. It suits curious, food-motivated travellers more than sun-seekers, and the BNPL options make the airfare easier to swallow.
Score based on Laters booking data and editorial review, 2026
Wellington's cheapest fares typically fall in May and June, when the Southern Hemisphere autumn brings fewer tourists and schools are in session. December and January are peak months, driven by summer holidays and the New Zealand Festival season. Book at least eight weeks ahead for the best trans-Tasman and domestic fares.
