Cheapest Flights to Sydney

What's the cheapest way to get from Sydney to Christchurch, NZ?

I found a cheap flight to Sydney, but that's as far as it takes me. I need to go to Christchurch. I looked up plane prices, but was wondering if maybe there were boats or ferries that went there and would be cheaper. I'm planning on going to Christchurch around the beginning of Jan..... the 10th maybe. I got a ticket to Sydney, but was wondering if there was a cheap way to get to Christchurch besides plane. Planning on staying for about 2 months, need to save as much as I can on the travel. I'm planning on going to Christchurch around the beginning of Jan..... the 10th maybe.

1. Swim or row.
2. $386 Air New Zealand December 2006 to Christchurch air seems cheapest.
3. Try Virgin Blue or JetStar...
4. swim
5. it would be to fly. You can have a look at these websites as they have some great deals and you can compare reall easy. Good luck and have a look at the lonely planet guide to new zealand before you go it has wicked info on just about everything. www.expedia.com.au www.airnewzealand.com.au www.webjet.com.au www.studentflights.com.au
6. jetstar have the cheapest flights. if you get easily dehydrated i wouldnt recomment this as they don't even give you water(due to cheapness). if you're afraid of flying then you should take a boat, then you can drink as much as you want lol
7. Swim (lol)
8. Jetstar..$200 AUD approx. Qantas and Air Zealand charge too much
9. I'd deffo say one of the budget no frills airlines is yur best bet mate. At the moment jetstar looks about yur cheapest but check around and maybe go to the airport to enquire about best last minute deals direct from airlines? Good Luck Mate, have a Gooday & a Bonza Christmas In Sydney!
