Flight Information + FAQ’s
You will fly into the Auckland Airport in Auckland, New Zealand. The airport code is AKL.
Given the changes in the airline industry and the global pandemic, we encourage you to book your flights directly with the airline.
Make sure to book your flights for an arrival no later than 4:00 pm on February 9, 2026. For anyone coming from the United States, that will likely mean a departure of no later than February 8th, but please triple-check the dates on the airline's website.
Once you have booked your flights, please email Cally your flight details so your transportation to the hotel can be arranged.

This trip is for YOU, so if there's anything you don't want to do, you will not be forced to participate. Because all activities are included in the cost, we highly recommend you try each one before making a final decision, but ultimately it's your call!

Because some activities involve alcohol, all participants must be over the age of 18.
Here are some tips:
If you book a flight with a layover, please pay close attention to the layover times. While no one wants to sit around the airport for hours, you also don’t want to miss your layover because of a short connection. I suggest choosing a schedule that has at least 1.5 hours on the way to your destination. On your way home, I suggest at least 2 hours to give extra time to get through immigration.
Some airlines provide tickets that can be changed or canceled without a fee. This costs more upfront but can be helpful in the case of unforeseen circumstances.
