Its dramatic landscapes, encompassing the glistening Lake Wakatipu and the majestic Southern Alps, attract travellers from around the globe. The town’s rich history, dating back to the gold rush era, is evident in its architecture and local stories. Whether you're drawn to adrenaline-pumping activities or serene exploration, Queenstown offers an unforgettable experience.

A direct flight from New Delhi to Queenstown typically takes around 22 hours. However, flight duration can vary depending on weather conditions, air traffic, and the specific aircraft used. Several airlines offer flights, frequently requiring a stopover in one or more cities like Sydney, Melbourne or Auckland.

While Air New Zealand and Qantas are two major airlines providing these routes, the flight frequency changes throughout the year. Expect multiple flights per week, with potential for daily services during peak season. Because of the long distance, connecting flights are typical, increasing the overall journey time.

If you prefer a budget-friendly approach, exploring alternative routes might be beneficial. Layover cities such as Singapore, Dubai, or Hong Kong offer various flight combinations that can sometimes lead to cost-effective deals. These layover options add time to your journey, of course, but can significantly reduce the total cost.
