A vast majority of flights from the USA and Canada will land into Auckland International Airport. Our team has worked closely with Air New Zealand for many years and we will handle airline ticketing for a majority of our clients. In fact, other travel agencies will book ticketing using our services in order to take advantage of the service Air New Zealand provides to their clients. Air New Zealand is our preferred carrier for a few reasons:
Except for multi-generational family groups and multiple couples who will frequently travel together, most of our trips are self-drive. We provide rental vehicle as part of our booking services for you and will align vehicles to be ready in more remote locations as you hop around the country on domestic flights.
In certain areas of New Zealand we will also use car services either in combination or as a replacement to a rental vehicle. Where it makes the most sense we will often combine a Meet & Greet services in airports and then touring prior to check-in.
Additionally, we will often arrange for guides and tours to meet you at your accommodations. Our goal is to reduce the amount of time you experience New Zealand passing by you from inside of a car window.
