In addition to a very extensive domestic network (for example, the Auckland-Christchurch service operates about once every 30 minutes), the Pacific region is the company's main area of operation, given New Zealand's remoteness. However, Air New Zealand still retains the prestigious Auckland-Los Angeles-London route. In addition, in recent years the Auckland - Hong Kong - London route has also been in operation, so the whole world could be flown around only on board Air New Zealand aircraft.

As a general rule of thumb, the best time to buy tickets is about 2-4 months before departure.
