We were told this by our travel agent who booked our flights from London Heathrow Airport to Auckland via an Air New Zealand Flight. There are many airlines that offer direct and indirect connections from London to New Zealand and operate in codeshare arrangement with their codeshare partners like Air New Zealand, Cathay Pacific, British Airways, Thai Airways, Qantas, Emirates, Singapore Airlines and Air Canada. But we chose to go by Air New Zealand given the economical rates that were being offered by the airline.

Our experience of booking flights to Brisbane taught us that the best way to avail cheap flights and tickets to any destination is to visit the website of airline consolidation agents who offer steep discounts to anyone looking for the best flight deals. These consolidation agents buy seats in bulk and offer them at a discount to travel agents and individuals who choose to trust them with their travel related requirements.
