Mostly Jetstar, but sometimes AirNZ (especially on the WLG routes) via MEL/SYD mostly, but it’s also definitely worth checking two one way tickets as that can be slightly cheaper at times.
All flights include 7kg carry on (enough for the passport, togs and jandals), and the AirNZ/Qantas ones include checked luggage as well.
Dates from Oct-Mar, excluding holiday periods ( I mean they have flights, but they’re not as cheap…)
