Worth Every Dollar When the Sky Plays Ball
Scenic flights on the West Coast are up there with the best memories you'll make in NZ. The Franz and Fox Glacier zone is the pick for me. You're weaving through steep, tight peaks with glaciers sitting inside actual rainforest. It's a combination that won't exist forever, honestly. But the one non-negotiable: don't book too early in your trip. These flights live and die by the weather, and locking in a time before you know what the sky is doing is a gamble not worth taking.

Franz and Fox vs the Rest
Both Franz Josef and Fox Glacier operators run good flights and the quality is similar across both towns. The RANKERS promo code gets you a discount on scenic flights in the area, and there's another operator running similar deals too. Worth using whichever way you jump. If you're heading through the Haast Pass as well, there's a brilliant fly/walk/jetboat combo that takes you somewhere seriously remote. Less people go there because it's not a famous name, but that's exactly why it sticks with you.
