About Auckland

Melbourne to Auckland is a well-worn path for a reason. Some go for the cool weather and even cooler views, others for the flat whites and family catch-ups. Either way, you’re heading into a city that feels both familiar and just different enough to be exciting. There’s plenty of direct flights, lots of ways to save cash, and the kind of laid-back vibe that hits just right when you’re ready to switch off. 


In the next few scrolls, we’ll cover which airlines are flying, how long it takes, what the fares usually look like, and a few travel hacks to keep costs low.

Which airlines fly direct from Melbourne to Auckland?

You’ve got a solid line-up of carriers flying this route, covering both budget-friendly and full-service options:


  • Qantas: Full-service airline with checked baggage, meals, and Qantas Points on eligible fares.
  • Air New Zealand: They’ll sort you out with snacks and drinks onboard, plus Airpoints for members.
  • Jetstar: Stripped-back fares for people who like to pick and choose what they pay for.


You’ll find these and more on Traveloka, where you can scope out what works best in just a few taps.

Flight time from Melbourne to Auckland?

You’re looking at about 3 hours and 35 minutes gate to gate. Enough time to zone out with a playlist or finally catch up on that movie that’s been eluding you.

Average price of flights between Melbourne and Auckland

Cheapest one-way fares usually start around AU$248. Sometimes less if the stars align or there’s a sale on. Book six to eight weeks out, and you’ll usually dodge the premium prices.

Cheapest time to fly to Auckland

Right now, October's where the real bargains are. The same goes for months like June, July, and March. They tend to be a little quieter, so flights drop in price. December and April, on the other hand, are when everyone and their dog are flying, and you’ll probably feel it in your wallet.

Where is the airport in Auckland?

Auckland Airport sits about 20 kms south of the CBD and trips into the town usually take 30–45 minutes, depending on traffic. From the terminal, it’s easy to get into town:


  • SkyDrive Airport Express: Runs directly to central Auckland with fares from NZ$9–NZ$20.
  • Uber and taxis: Fairly quick and usually between NZ$35–NZ$60.
  • Car hire: Want your own wheels? You can pick ‘em up at the terminal.

Visa and passport requirements for Australians flying to Auckland

Aussies don’t usually need a visa to get into New Zealand. But you do need to fill out a NZ Traveller Declaration before you get to passport control. It’s free, online, and not a huge hassle.

Time difference between Melbourne and Auckland

Auckland’s normally two hours ahead of Melbourne. Daylight saving might shuffle things around a bit throughout the year. The good news? Your arrival time already factors that in, so no maths required.

  • Try flying on a Tuesday or Wednesday: Those days tend to be less hectic, so cheaper.
