Does Qantas or Air New Zealand go non-stop from the UK to NZ?

There are no direct flights from the UK to AUstralia as far as I'm aware. I think the shortest time including stop over somewhere is around 23 hours

Where do they stop mostly? Singapore or somewhere like that?

Hong Kong, Singapore, Dubai. Some go the other way via LA I think

I just remember that when I went to Australia in 2001 just from LA was 15 hours EACH WAY NON STOP! Thats like twice as far as my nonstop fights when I went to London.

There are a number of carriers doing 13-hour direct flights from LAX. However, I don't think I would mind terribly a 10-hour layover somewhere- just to be able to get off the plane for a bit, decompress, shower, sleep in a real bed and then resume the journey, especially when coming back to New York. It's screwed up that I could theoretically depart from NZ on Christmas day and be back home in NYC on Christmas Eve.

For me it was 9.5 hours going and then over 11 hours returning. But 9.5 hours is the shortest it's ever been for me. That was a pleasant surprise. I guess the wind was in our favor.

Anyway... just as I suspected, there isn't an empty bed to be found anywhere even remotely close to New Plymouth. However, I did find a chalet that is literally located at the base of a semi-active volcano. It's only about 18 miles away as the crow flies, but you literally have to drive around the volcano to get to the only access road from the south- a two hour ordeal. I'm sure it would be quite lovely during the day... but I can only imagine trying to navigate around there in the pitch black of night. For some reason sleeping in the car at the Brooklands park is sounding more and more appealing right now. I can always bathe in the eel-infested moat. |
