How to get to Queenstown
Getting here is easy as the region is well served by major airlines.
Air New Zealand flies international and domestic flights into Queenstown International Airport.
Qantas will operate five direct trans-Tasman flights into the resort every week over the winter but its budget brand Jetstar will operate its New Zealand domestic routes from June.
Several flights every day bring skiers and holidaymakers from New Zealand’s main cities.
Access by road is a scenic option. It takes roughly six hours to drive the 480 km from Christchurch to Queenstown – remember to carry snow chains and always check the weather forecast before you set off.
