FAQs - booking New Zealand flights

  • Do you need a visa to travel from New York to New Zealand?

    As a US citizen, you are required to apply for an NZeTA visa online to travel as a tourist to the country. Passengers must apply at least 72h prior to their departure to New Zealand, and bring proof of it to show upon their arrival. Passengers must also bring a valid passport that cannot expire within three months of their planned departure date out of New Zealand.

  • Are there any direct flight options from New York to New Zealand?

    Currently, there aren’t any non-stop flights between these two places, unfortunately. However, there are routes with just one short layover, generally at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), going to Auckland International Airport (AKL). These more direct routes are mainly operated by Air New Zealand and depart from both Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) and John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) in New York.

  • Which is the best airport to fly into to get to Fiordland National Park and Milford Sound?

To get there, flights will most likely have two layovers coming from New York, but travelers can book connecting flights to either Christchurch International Airport (CHC) or Queenstown International Airport (ZQN). Queenstown is closest but has fewer flights.

  • Is there public transportation available from Auckland Airport to the city center?

    The main Auckland International Airport has a few public transportation options to get to the center of Auckland. Depending on your final destination in downtown Auckland, travelers can ride the AirportLink bus to the connecting train stations that take you to the Queen’s Wharf, for instance. It takes over an hour to get downtown via public transportation.

Top tips for finding cheap flights to New Zealand

  • If you’re traveling with a child or infant and plan on renting a vehicle upon your arrival in New Zealand, be aware that it is mandatory for children from the ages of 0-7 to travel in an adequate child restraint.
