Did you know?
We have an exclusive partnership with Cathay Pacific, which means we have special deals for Premium Economy Class and Business Class flights.
Good to know
New Zealand's border control is very strict. You will need to clean all hiking shoes and camping gear before entering the country. When arriving at the airport, customs may check these items for dirt.
The best seats on the plane
Are you planning a flight soon? Then you surely want a great seat on the plane. Especially if you fly economy class, it is advisable to reserve a good seat in advance. You have the best view from seat A35, L35, A39, L39, A40, L40, A41, L41, A42, and L42. Because there is no wing that impairs the view. For maximum legroom, choose seats in row 16 and row 32. Would you like to avoid the menu of your choice being off? Then choose seats A16 and L16, because that's where you'll get served food and drinks first.
The worst seats on the plane
Avoid rows 44 and 45. Here you have the least legroom and the backrests hardly fold back. The busiest seats are in rows 43, 44, and 45. These seats are in close proximity to the restrooms and crew. Rows 16 to 21, on the other hand, are furthest from the toilets, making them more difficult to reach. Especially when food is served. In row 28, you also have less legroom and from rows 18 to 32, you have the worst view due to the wings.
"Would like to make your trip to New Zealand more comfortable? I suggest flying - Premium economy class. It's really worth the upgrade!"

Useful facts
Visa and passport
When travelling outside of Europe, there is a list of countries that require a visa, and New Zealand is part of that list. But, not to worry this process is quick and easy.
The NZeTA (New Zealand Electronic Authority) can be applied for via the New Zealand Immigration website or via the NZeTA app.
Please allow up to 72 hours for processing time. Each family member is also required to have a passport that is valid for at least 6 months, to travel to New Zealand.
Required vaccinations
The New Zealand borders will be open to passport holders from the UK for purposes such as tourism as of 1 July 2022. To travel to New Zealand, you are required to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19. You are considered fully vaccinated in New Zealand if you have received two doses of any Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) approved or TGA recognised COVID-19 vaccine at least 14 days apart, and are at least 7 days post their second dose. If you have any questions, check with your doctor and with the New Zealand Department of Health before leaving home.
Packing your bags
We will organise your dream trip to New Zealand and all you need to do is pack your bags! However, it is vital that you pack correctly to ensure you make the most of your holiday DownUnder. Where are you going? What kinds of activities will you be doing? What season will it be? These are all important factors to consider.
We recommend that you definitely bring comfortable walking shoes and clothes. Pack a good quality sunscreen, a hat and sunglasses. If you are concerned about insects, pack insect repellent too. A waterproof jacket is handy, as well as your swimwear and a towel (depending on where you are going). If you have any tours booked, please double-check what you may need.
And always check with your airline prior to your departure what your baggage limits are. However, for most airlines, the weight per piece should not exceed 32kg. Unless notified and approved in advance (e.g. for wheelchairs or medical supplies).
New Zealand's time zones
New Zealand is divided into two time zones. New Zealand Standard Time (NZST) and Chatham Standard Time (CST). The North and South Island use NZST and the nearby Chatham Islands use CST. During the summer months, daylight saving hours are observed and the clocks are put forward one hour. This occurs from the last Sunday in September till the first Sunday in April.
Flying to New Zealand & jet lag
Jet Lag is inevitable if you are going to travel to New Zealand. This is of course due to the time difference. However, there are a number of things you can do to reduce the effect of jet lag. This way you can adjust your day and night rhythm and keep moving on board. When you talk to us in person, we can give you our expert advice on how to suffer the least from jet lag.
Clean Aircraft
We use aircraft that are equipped with HEPA - High-Efficiency Particle Filters. HEPA filters are able to catch most airborne particles, which means the risk of catching something on an airborne plane is actually lower than many other confined spaces. They are similar to the standard used in hospitals. In fact, the air is cleaner and less contaminated than most office buildings.
