Plan Getting Here & Your Pacific Vacation

Getting excited about a destination experience is the first step towards planning a great vacation. The easiest decisions you make in life will be the ones that you do not have to talk yourself into! Next step is to design & build your vacation around the 8-Day Taste of NZ Paradise Mega-Tour. Research suggests the average length of an international vacation is 14 days. We recommend flying direct to AKL airport & staying the first 2 nights in Auckland City before the tour begins so you can enjoy a trip to Hobbiton or city sightseeing & island hopping. After completing the 8-day tour & being you are all the way DownOver we suggest a short visit to another location on the same flight path back to the USA; The Cook Islands - Rarotonga. French Polynesia - Tahiti. Pacific Island - Fiji. Once your desired vacation is clear then plan your trip-write it down. Keep the overall travel plan simple & book your 8-Day Mega-Tour first then flight & extra accommodation asap - make sure you have travel insurance & current passport. Enjoy counting down the days until you leave!

AIR NEW ZEALAND-FLYING HIGH WITH THE KIWIS IS YOUR CHOICE

Start your Kiwiana experience flying with a Kiwi crew. We are proud to recommend Air New Zealand as our preferred flight carrier offering a direct fight from Houston to Auckland. Flying high, Air New Zealand has continued its winning streak in the airline of the year awards, with its inflight innovations, young fleet and improvements in all cabin classes helping it claim the top spot. What is really impressive is that Air New Zealand has continually innovated in the economy cabin, where most of us travel. The Skycouch and its premium economy are standouts that give thrifty travelers choices and more comfort. 

Flying direct from Houston or LAX to Auckland takes about 12-14 hours traveling East to West crossing the date line - you also lose a day on arrival. Your return flight travels West to  East therefore you gain time back arriving in the USA on the same day you left Auckland. 

SERVICE LEVEL EXPERIENCE ON FLIGHT 

Expect excellent caring service. Fly through the night. Arrive fresh in the morning.

Enjoy a delicious dinner. Watch several movies, Sleep well  for 6-8 hours. Wake up to the aroma of breakfast.  A couple more hours and you are there!
