Flights to New Zealand - Overview
The sheer distances involved in travelling between the UK and New Zealand, combined with the fact that there is only one airline offering same-plane flights there, ensure that bargain basement cheap flights to New Zealand do not really exist in the same way that they do to other long haul destinations.
Although there are nothing like as many permutations for finding flights to New Zealand as there are compared to Australia, one key consideration is whether to fly east or to fly west to get there.
Distance wise, there isn't that much difference - you can expect to spend a full day confined to an aircraft which ever route you take - but there are huge differences in terms of stopover opportunities, and quality of airline service (see Flightmapping's airlines guide).
As with finding flights to Australia, seat pitch should be given particular consideration, and it is worth noting that Air New Zealand are one of the most generous operators here, with a standard seat pitch of 34 inches in economy class. Air New Zealand are the only airline offering direct flights to New Zealand from the UK, with daily flights to Auckland via Los Angeles (Westbound) or Hong Kong (Eastbound).
Additionally, Air New Zealand offer the possibility of taking a connecting flight to Christchurch via Los Angeles, as well as an extensive range of domestic connections from Auckland.
Asian cities such as Singapore, Bangkok and Hong Kong are the most popular choices for passengers heading east. Singapore Airlines in particular carry more passengers on flights to New Zealand from the UK than any other airline.

Mini guide to New Zealand
Few films have had so great an effect on a country's tourist industry as the recent Lord of the Rings trilogy. This was as good a brochure as director Peter Jackson's native New Zealand could want - nine or so hours of rolling countryside, snowy mountaintops, and mysterious caverns - banishing forever the image of two green, quiet islands where sheep outnumber people. In fact, the sheep are still there; it's just that, at the moment, they're outnumbered by Frodo freaks trudging up hill and down dale in the hope of communing with Gandalf.
Of the two islands, North Island hosts the capital Wellington and the popular destination Auckland, while South Island proves more rural and mountainous, reaching its peak, so to speak, with the 3,800 ft Mount Cook. Queenstown, the self-proclaimed world capital of adventure sport, is also on South Island.
