Flight from San Francisco to Auckland

Verified travelerFlew with Air New Zealand-Jan 2025

Be prepared for a long overnight flight. Ear plugs a necessity. We had many many kids, and several who screamed rather than cried. A tough night. Not the airlines fault

Verified travelerFlew with Air New Zealand-Oct 2024

Pay for seating with extra leg room. Specifically ask air New Zealand what documentation is needed to pass through to a second flight in Auckland.
