China Southern Airlines is offering a deal from Budapest to Auckland, New Zealand starting at just €583. This deal includes 2x 23kg checked luggage. The only caveat is that you will have two long layovers in Guangzhou. However, at least they are daytime layovers, allowing you to explore the city, stretch your legs, and eat a proper meal at a restaurant before getting on the plane for another long flight.
Sadly, the cheapest price can only be found on a few dates in late May and June. But, if you’re willing to pay ~€60 more, then you have quite a few more options.
Our availability calendar only displays the absolutely cheapest flight dates for trips up to 28 days. It will forward you to Trip.com with your selected flight dates. You can also proceed to China Southern, where tickets are roughly €20 more expensive.

You will fly both segments with China Eastern Boeing 787, featuring a 3-3-3 configuration in economy class.
Most European citizens don’t need a visa to enter New Zealand for up to three months. An online registration called NZeTA is mandatory.
Editor’s Note: Flying to New Zealand for under €600 is a steal. The downsides of this deal are not too bad: The long daytime layovers give you a perfect chance to explore Guangzhou on the way. The low availability is not ideal, but at least the dates are not last-minute. You have 3 months to adjust your plans to these dates.

Information & Tips for Auckland
Auckland offers a variety of attractions for travelers.
