Why It's a Deal We priced this multicity itinerary (L.A. to Auckland, Auckland to Christchurch, Christchurch to L.A.) on Kayak for travel in early May and found a $1,171 fare (Air New Zealand). The hotels would cost about $500 per person for the six nights of accommodations. Booking independently, you would expect to pay about $1,671 per person. This package is $1,598 with all taxes included—a savings of $73, plus you have the added convenience of one-click booking.

More There are a few optional tours available, starting at $33 per person for a Christchurch city tour.
