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.
