Thread: Slightly OT: Travel from North to South Island

I know this is slightly OT, but it IS in reference to hunting...

I'm hunting there next year, and not sure yet about S or N island. If I do the S island, I would have to fly into Auckland, then take another ride to the S island.


Do you think it would be better to book the leg south at the same time I book the flight to Auckland, or are there an excess of flights going south all day making it cheaper to find a flight the same day?

Are there more than one alternative to go south and, if so, what do you recommend? If I do go south, it will likely be to either Queenstown or Dunedin.


Thanks!
Dave
