New zealand flight help ?

Cat72

Hi
Hope some experienced travellers can help. We are looking into going to New zealand - christchurch to visit family. We are meeting up with our family when we are over there. I have never been before so am not sure about the best way to get cheap flights- hope you could help.
We can travel anyday from 22 december this year and want to go for three weeks. We could travel on the 25 or 26 th of december- as long as we are in NZ for new year.I live in glasgow but would be willing to travel to london for flights.Unfortunately work committments mean we are not really in a position to go before the 22nd december .
Hope you can help, thanks :grinheart

Ticket Options
An electronic ticket is mandatory on this flight. Ticket Information
ELECTRONIC TICKETS
Electronic tickets, or e-tickets, are used by an increasing number of top airlines. In simple terms when you choose an e-ticket through Airline Network we will automatically create an electronic record in the airline's computer system instead of printing a paper ticket. You will then be sent an e-ticket receipt instead of a ticket, which, you will need to check in with at the airport.

E-tickets offer several key advantages:-

More Convenient - You do not have to wait for your tickets to arrive.
More Peace of Mind - No need for a paper ticket, eliminating worry of leaving them behind or losing them.
More Affordable - There is now a surcharge for paper tickets on routes where an e-ticket is available.

PAPER TICKETS
Traditional paper based ticket (may incur surcharge)
