It’s winter. You’re shivering in front of your electric heater. You look out the window and things don’t look any better. It’s cold, grey and miserable. But do you know what? The grass is greener on the other side. Trust us. With the other half of the world basking in some serious sunshine at the moment (and with thousands of bargain to be found on Cheapflights.co.nz), it’s never been easier to leave the gloom behind and trade your thermals for sunnies.
