Flights from the UK to New Zealand take anywhere from 24 hours upwards depending on the length of stop over. Some people like to get it all over as quickly as possible and opt for a quick two hour break to stretch the legs, others prefer to have a couple of days break and use the opportunity to see another city on the way. Connections are usually in Asia; Singapore, Hong Kong and Seoul are the most common, or the West Coast of North America; Los Angeles or Vancouver. The route through the Middle East has also recently opened up with flights connecting in Dubai or Qatar.
We are a fully ATOL bonded tour operator and will be happy to arrange your international flights for you, but many of our customers choose to arrange their own directly, and that is completely fine with us. We do not include flight prices in our online itineraries and quotes because they fluctuate and vary so much.
