Nowadays, getting to New Zealand is, of course, easier than, for example, 200 years ago. But in any case, such a trip will tire the traveler, because the distance from Moscow to Wellington (this is the capital of New Zealand) is 16,564 km.
Instructions
Step 1
Select the airport you want to fly to. New Zealand has 3 airports serving international flights, Auckland Airport, Crustchurch and Wellington Airport. From Auckland you can fly to Palmerston North and Dunedin. For obvious reasons, there are no direct flights from Moscow.
Step 2
Auckland airport
This airport can be reached with just one change. For example, Thai Airways offers a flight from Moscow with a connection in Bangkok. The time between flights is 13 hours. This is, of course, inconvenient, but if you choose a flight with two transfers, the duration of the trip will be about the same. A more convenient option is offered by the Emirates airline. The plane leaves Domodedovo for Dubai. The duration of the first flight is 5 hours. After connecting (another 4 hours 30 minutes of waiting between flights), you can go to Auckland airport, travel time 18 hours 35 minutes. You can also fly to this airport by Delta Airlines, KLM, LuftHansa, Air China, British Airlines. The total flight duration ranges from 23 to 54 hours.
Step 3
Christchurch
Most airlines offer flights there with two connections. The airport offers connecting flights to Seoul (South Korea) and Sydney (Australia), it is also possible to fly with Vietnam Airlines via Ho Chi Minh (Vietnam) and Sydney. The last part of the journey from Sydney is operated by aircraft owned by Emirates. You can also get to Sydney by Air China flights with a transfer in Beijing (China).
Step 4
Wellington
Hainan, Air China, Singapore, Korean AL, British Airlines, Virgin Atlantic, Transaero, Aeroflot, Emirates fly to the capital of New Zealand. The duration of the flight, depending on the number of connections and the waiting time between flights, ranges from 26 to 55 hours.
Step 5

The resorts of the southern island of New Zealand can be reached via Auckland Airport. The flight is carried out with at least two transfers. The situation is similar with Palmerston North Airport. Airplanes from Asia and Australia do not fly there directly, only with an intermediate docking in Auckland.
