How long is the flight from london to new zealand?

Question

what about stopovers, do I have to stop more than 24 hours

Answer 1

around 25 hours but i stopped in hong kong for 1 night amazing

Answer 2

I've done this flight six times now - and it's a killer.

Either way you go it's 24 hours flying time.  The best way that I've found is via LA in 2 x 12 hours flights.  You can go via Singapore or Abu Dabi - but this can be a more broken flight - up to four stops.

Have a look on www.expedia.co.uk to assess your options - and then use as a benchmark.

Total best flight 26-27 hours

Total worst flight 40 plus hours.

Answer 3

The flight takes 24 hours either via the US or via asia. No matter which way it's a long trek. Best way is to break it up into 2 twelve hour flights taking either a couple of days in L.A, Hong Kong or Singapore.

If you fly via the states many airlines give you an extra baggage allowance as well sometimes up to 40kg. Remember on long haul flights everything is free so just get stuck into the free booze get drunk and pass out! It's the easiest way to get through a terrible journey. Once you are in New Zealand though it'll all be worth it. I done the flight 8 months ago and I'm still in New Zealand!!

Answer 4

27hrs

Answer 5

Roughly 24 hours in the air. Total time usually about 30 if you go via Far East. Dunno about via the States.

I have been about 7 times - marrried in to a NZ based family.

I absolutely hate the flying as I'm phobic about it.

But I wouldn't not go.

Now I have acupuncture.

If you are thinking of going you will love the place. And the folks are decent too! Bon Voyage

Answer 6

You can get a direct flight. It takes 23-25 hours depending on weather. Air New Zealand London to Auckland Non-stop.

Answer 7

i don't think so my friend said it takes 12hrs direct

Answer 8

It took 22 hours with a stop over in Japan of all places. I reccomend that you have a 2 day break in a country at half way. It basically gives you a free stopover and a chance to see another country basically free. Also a chance to rest up... Its not that bad a flight.. but would recomend the new airbus for it. a good comfortable plane... Come see New Zealand it is awesome

Answer 9

It may be slightly quicker to go through LA, but their security and customs workers are the rudest most arrogant officials i have ever met - i would NEVER recommend this unless you have no other alternative, seriously.

Answer 10

Done that flight a couple of times.  Flew with Singapore Airlines.  Took about 13 hours to reach Singapore then another 10 and a bit from there. Would reccommend that you stay in Singapore for a couple of days though as it is worth a look around and breaks up the flight.

Answer 11

long

Answer 12

your choice to stop over but someone said 12 hrs that will get you Singapore add on another 14/15 hrs and thats about it for a boring trip Good Luck

Answer 13

About 30 Hrs or more!!!

Answer 14

It depends on the route and airline.

Take a look at http://www.lastminute.com under the flights section.

If you want to get there in a hurry and to avoid the hassle of long delays at the halfway point, I recommend Singapore Airlines. The stop off in Singapore is quick and comfortable.

Definitely avoid the US route - that is much longer than flying via Asia.
