Multi-city pricing advantage

From $5,800 per person in business class

Save ~$1,800–$2,800 vs. two separate return fares

Savings estimates are based on published business class fare comparisons vs. equivalent separate return fares. Actual savings vary by booking date and availability. Our specialists advise on the exact fare combination.

Why travel Los Angeles to Auckland?

Los Angeles to Sydney and Auckland is the premier Southern Hemisphere premium itinerary — Qantas' A380 on the transpacific crossing is an extraordinary experience, and the progression from Australia's most iconic harbour city to New Zealand's spectacular Waitemata harbour is geographically seamless.

Why book as a multi-city itinerary?

The LAX–SYD outbound / AKL–LAX homebound open-jaw is the cleanest structure. Air New Zealand operates direct AKL–LAX and AKL–SFO services, making the homebound routing seamless. Our specialists construct the combined fare across Qantas and Air New Zealand, typically saving $1,800–$2,800 versus two independent returns from Los Angeles.

Planning tips for this itinerary

Sydney (5 nights — Opera House, Bondi, Blue Mountains day trip, Harbour Bridge) → Auckland (4 nights — Waiheke Island, Waitomo Caves day trip, Sky Tower). November through March is Southern Hemisphere summer — optimal beach weather in both cities. Qantas' Sydney homebase means excellent airport facilities and lounge access at Kingsford Smith. Air New Zealand homebound from Auckland is highly regarded — their premium economy and business products are among the best at their price points.
