Looking to switch out WA’s dry sun for something a little more green and cool? Flying from Perth to Auckland might be just the ticket. This route takes you from wide-open Aussie spaces to a city where the clouds hang lower, the seafood hits differently, and every second hill seems to have a view worth stopping for.
Whether you're chasing adventure or catching up with mates, here’s everything you need to know to book your flight.
Right now, only Air New Zealand runs non-stop flights from Perth to Auckland. It’s a full-service experience—meals, checked baggage, entertainment, and their Airpoints rewards are all part of the deal.
Other airlines operate this route with a stop along the way. They include:
Flying straight over? It’ll take roughly 6 hours and 15 minutes from Perth to Auckland. This long-haul hop is usually overnight, so you’ll land ready to go.
If you end up on one of the connecting flights, expect the journey to take a few hours longer.
Flights for this route usually start from AU$535 each way, with many folks paying somewhere closer to AU$850 for something last minute. Prices bounce around depending on the season. Want the cheapest seats? Aim for about eight weeks ahead or keep your eyes peeled for Boxing Day or EOFY sales.
May and June tend to be where the lower prices live—just a little cooler, slightly quieter, and easier on your wallet. Flights from July to November still tend to be pretty reasonable—spring in New Zealand is stunning and not yet packed with summer tourists.
From December through April, though, expect fares to climb. That stretch covers peak summer holidays, Easter, and school breaks, so demand shoots up. If you're flexible, shifting your trip outside the holiday rush can save you a decent chunk.
Auckland Airport (AKL) is about 20 kms south of the centre. Once you land, getting into town’s pretty simple:
No visa needed if you’re an Aussie citizen heading over for less than three months. Just don’t forget your passport and fill out the New Zealand Traveller Declaration online before you go.
Depending on the time of year, Auckland is four or five hours ahead of Perth. NZ has daylight saving (unlike WA), so things shift around. Flight schedules sort this out for you, but it’s still good to know if you’re syncing up with mates or meetings.
