2 New Zealand routes

American Airlines is doubling up on New Zealand with two new routes. Among those is the only nonstop between the U.S. and New Zealand’s South Island.

The flights will begin in October 2020, with American adding new service between Dallas/Fort Worth (DFW) and Auckland (AKL) and between Los Angeles (LAX) and Christchurch (CHC). The new Auckland route will be flown on a Boeing 787-9 while the Christchurch route will be on the smaller 787-8 variant.

Air New Zealand have direct flights between Auckland and LA (LAX), and connecting flights between Auckland and Christchurch.

Good service. Good to deal with. No anti hunter crap.

At all cost try to stay away from LAX. Miserable experience.

I checked American before having Lori book my trip . New Zealand Air was a 1/3 cheaper than American

United / Air New Zealand has a non-stop from Houston to Auckland, however most or all the return flights have a stop on the US west coast (SFO). Agree with the comments about avoiding LAX.

More and more international nonstops out of DFW! This is great news for those of us in TX. Maybe I’ll hunt NZ soon!
