What is your home city/country? How long is the trip to post from there, with what connections? How easy/difficult is it to travel to this city/country?

East coast. We traveled through California, and then through Sydney. If you can avoid flying through Australia, do it. If you can fly Air New Zealand, do it. - Jan 2021


East coast of the US. It takes forever and two days to get here. I flew to CA, then Sydney and then here. - Jun 2019


West Coast USA. From LAX or SFO, it's about a 14-hour flight to either Sydney or Auckland, then a connecting flight on a smaller plane into Wellington's wind-buffeted sneeze of an airport. Transiting through Auckland involves lugging all your checked luggage between the domestic and international terminals, while a trip through Sydney involves having to deal with Australians. - Mar 2016


East coast - 27 - 34 hours through Sydney and LAX. - Apr 2015


Tulsa, OK. I honestly can't remember how long it took - just that it was way too long. - Aug 2011
