Queenstown, nestled amidst the stunning Southern Alps of New Zealand, is a destination famed for its breathtaking landscapes, adventure activities, and vibrant culture. Its natural beauty, from the crystal-clear waters of Lake Wakatipu to the majestic mountains, draws travellers worldwide. Queenstown's rich history, including its gold rush era, adds another layer to its appeal. Whether you're captivated by iconic landmarks, scenic hikes, or thrilling adventures, Queenstown promises an unforgettable experience. The fastest way to get there is via a direct flight from Abu Dhabi, a journey that usually takes around 22 hours, although this can vary due to weather conditions and flight routes. At least two major airlines typically offer direct flights daily; however, flight frequency and availability may change throughout the year, so check flight availability on eDreams for the best deals. If direct flights are not available, stopover cities like Dubai, Singapore, or Sydney might be used, which obviously increases the overall travel time. Booking in advance, typically 2-3 months before departure, or during the off-season months (excluding December-February) generally secures better fares. The ideal months for budget travellers are typically March-May and September-November, depending on weather conditions. During summer (December-February) and school holidays, Queenstown experiences peak season, while the quietest times are in the shoulder seasons, between summer and winter. eDreams has the best deals to get your flight and hotel to this paradise.
