While Aussies stampede over to NZ between April to June, savvy travellers can reap hundreds in savings by postponing their trip until July, August or September, according to the data.

The news comes as Qantas and Air New Zealand report record flight sales immediately proceeding the travel bubble announcement.
Air New Zealand CEO Greg Foran says they've been seeing really strong bookings for Australians coming to check out New Zealand.
"Queenstown will see an influx of Aussies in July and September and we expect to see a bigger boost around the country for the July school holidays. It's promising to be a busy ski season for the mountains."
