Auckland, New Zealand at €725 rtn

Oh, hello Auckland! We didn't expect to see you here!

Flights to New Zealand don't come up often (your last tip to this side of the world was over a year ago!) but when our Navigator radar spots some cheap, high-season fares like these, you can be sure you'll be the first to know!

These flights come with a checked bag included — pretty useful considering you'll leave the Dutch winter behind to embrace the Kiwi summer — buuuuuut they also come with a 8-hour layover in Guangzhou Airport on both legs.

Now, a thick slice of your time in Guangzhou will be lost between packed terminal transit lines and security checks, but you can always hop into an airport lounge, if you'd rather not hang around the gates for too long.

You can have a look at our quick guide about transiting through China here, if you're still unsure about the process.

BTW, Navigator Jake travelled to New Zealand this past March and went on a road trip across the North Island. You can read about his solo escapade here and find plenty of tips for your own trip — Pokeno ice-cream stops non-negotiable :-)
