GETTING TO NEW ZELAND
There are several airlines with just one stop between European airports and New Zealand. Most fly into Auckland, although Singapore airlines also fly direct into Christchurch.
Our recommended options from the UK or Europe are Singapore Airlines via Singapore, Emirates via Dubai, Cathay Pacific via Hong Kong and Qatar via Doha and Brisbane. See below for details on what to expect in transit.
Airfares are changing all the time so it’s difficult to give any accurate pricing here. Best way is to add your preferred dates and kick off a search.
For a little peace of mind, most airlines have a flexible travel policy in place, meaning if you need to amend your travel dates due to border restriction changes, these are offered without any airline fees. Any additional fare or tax changes will still apply if applicable
WHAT DO I NEED TO TRAVEL TO NEW ZEALAND?
Aside from your valid New Zealand passport or residency visa there this one extra thing that you now need to have arranged before you travel.
All travellers arriving into New Zealand from the UK or Europe will require a negative Covid-19 test. You need to have had both your COVID-19 sample taken and your result returned no more than 72 hours before the scheduled departure time of your first international departure.
You will need to provide this in order to check in for your flight as well as on arrival into New Zealand.
Click here for more information on what type of tests are accepted and what you will need to show as proof or these.
You should check airline and country pre-departure testing requirements for every country you are going through on your journey to make sure you comply with them all, not just New Zealand’s.
