Stopover for a visit in Los Angeles, San Francisco or Honolulu on your way to your New Zealand adventure.

With its ideal temperature all year round, LA is a perfect place to wander. Window shop on Melrose Avenue, Sunset Strip or Rodeo Drive. Go "baywatching" at Santa Monica, Malibu or Venice Beach. And of course do the Hollywood Walk of Fame and the Universal Studios tour. Disneyland is just 40 minutes away, and the city is packed with world class restaurants, museums and galleries.

Cable cars, Fisherman's Wharf, the Golden Gate, and Alcatraz - San Francisco must be one of the most iconic and photographed US cities. Romantic, cultural and full of character - visit San Francisco and you'll never want to leave!

San Francisco. Or for a more relaxing option - choose Honolulu, the classic tropical paradise. Warm water, perfect white beaches and the famous 'Aloha' welcome.

Then make your way to Auckland on Air New Zealand's brand new long-haul fleet.

Situated on a thin strip of land surrounded by magnificent beaches and islands, Auckland is a spectacular harbour city. Experience first class local wines and cuisine, defy gravity and ascend the Sky Tower for mind blowing views of the city, and check out cutting edge boutiques such as Zambesi, Karen Walker or Kate Sylvester.

If you want to explore more of the natural beauty of New Zealand, Auckland is the perfect launch pad to the rest of the country. Why not fly with Air New Zealand to Christchurch - the ideal base from which to explore the incredible natural wonders of the South Island.
