Cheap flights from London to Auckland from £478

When it’s time to fly from London to the New Zealand-based city of Auckland you will leave the UK from Heathrow Airport (LHR). Being the UK’s busiest and largest airport, it is well-equipped to handle the masses of travellers that go through its gates every day. However, if you are embarking on an international flight you will need to make sure you are at the airport at least three hours before take-off. You can reach Heathrow from London central by travelling the Underground Tube train from many points, or alternatively taxi or Uber. When you land in Auckland you will be using the Auckland Airport (AKL), based in Mangere, which is 13 miles out from Auckland central. Reaching the city is easy via several bus lines that run from the Arrivals terminals 24/7. Rideshare is a popular means of transport, acting in a similar way to a taxi for multiple people at varied drop-offs. Taxis and Ubers are also easily obtained from Auckland Airports Arrivals Terminal.

Two-stop flights do not always determine price though, so check for one-stop flights that can get you to Auckland sooner at comparable rates.
