Flying to Queenstown
Located 15 minutes from downtown Queenstown, Queenstown Airport services the region with daily domestic flights operated by Air New Zealand and Jetstar. It receives direct scheduled services from New Zealand’s main metropolitan ports of Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch.
Direct scheduled services from Australia’s eastern ports Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne and Gold Coast are also available via Air New Zealand, Jetstar, Qantas and Virgin Australia.
Queenstown Airport is also New Zealand’s busiest helicopter base and is frequently used for ‘flightseeing’ on fixed-wing and rotary-wing aircraft.
Driving to Queenstown
Driving to Queenstown is a very scenic option and if you are planning to travel by road you can drive yourself. Major New Zealand highways connect Queenstown to surrounding South Island regions and you will come across incredible natural landscapes and different attractions on the drive to Queenstown.
Roads to Queenstown are well-signposted from the surrounding regions. New Zealand highways are fully sealed and well-maintained but some side roads to activities and attractions may be loose gravel and require more time and care.
If you are planning a self-drive holiday it’s good to understand that driving in New Zealand can be different to driving at home. We drive on the left-hand side of the road, meaning the driver’s seat is on the right-hand side of the car. New Zealand roads can be narrow and winding with varying conditions. It pays to take lots of breaks and leave plenty of time to reach your destination.
It is also possible to encounter sheep and cattle on rural roads in New Zealand and ice or snow on the roads in winter. It is recommended to give yourself extra time, check the weather forecast and understand New Zealand road rules and signs.
