Dunedin Flights

As New Zealand's oldest city, Dunedin is a destination that mingles perennial charms with modern pleasures. Walking the streets, you will be inundated with a variety of interesting architecture, from Saint Joseph's Cathedral to the Dunedin Railway Station.
If viewing the brilliant structures of the city is not enough, this location also offers plenty of natural, historical, and cultural sights, such as the Long Ridge tramping track, the Otago Settlers Museum, and the Public Art Gallery.
This location, though fascinating, is still something of a hidden gem for most travellers, so cheap flights to Dunedin are almost always easy to find.

Best time to travel to Dunedin

Peak Season:

Though not overly expensive, flights to Dunedin are at their priciest from December to February. The mild, temperate climate of this period makes attempting to climb the incredibly steep Baldwin Street, viewing the Dunedin Botanical Gardens, and exploring the Larnach Castle a very delightful experience.

Shoulder Season:

The prices of flights fall from March through May, and September to November. These periods range from gently crisp to beautifully warm. Since the climate is stunning during either part of the shoulder season, outdoor activities, such as playing on Allans Beach or riding a horse at Hare Hill, an absolute must.

Off Season:

From July to August the weather becomes especially chilly. Although the climate can be rather biting at times, these months are still excellent for visiting some of the numerous indoor attractions. If you are itching for some culture, you can go to the Temple Gallery or see a show at the Fortune Theatre. If you are looking for something a bit different, you can tour the Speights Brewery or the Cadbury Chocolate Factory.

How to survive the flight to Dunedin?
Wherever you’re coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you’re prepared. Take a peek at these handy tips and tricks that will get your Dunedin holiday started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The secret to having an awesome flight experience is to pack ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, travel docs, credit cards and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that’ll help keep you entertained, like some electronic gadgets or a good read. It’s also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, don’t forget to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Make sure you don’t have a sharp object lurking in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive goods, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

  • The narrow aisles of your airplane are not the place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and take a cardigan as it tends to get cool inside the cabin on long-haul flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also a sensible choice.
  • Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. The good news is there are numerous ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, get up and wander the aisles as much as you can and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Dunedin?
As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be well organised before you get to the security gate. That way, you’ll be boarding that plane to Dunedin in no time at all. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a spectacular start:

  • Keep your travel documents and ID at hand. They’re the first things you’ll be asked to present to security.
  • Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
  • For just a few moments, you’ll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices must also be sent through the scanner.
  • Any liquids or gels, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • There’s a possibility that you’ll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
  • Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in your hand luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
