Cheap flights from Sydney to Auckland from $200

When you’re flying to Auckland from Sydney, you’ll leave Australia from Sydney Kingsford Smith Airport (SYD). The airport lies to the south of the city centre, roughly 8 km away, in the suburb of Mascot. In normal daytime traffic, it will take you around 15min to drive there, or you can catch a bus on the N20 route that will make the trip in around 30min. As it’s the main international airport in Sydney and the home of Australia’s national carrier, Qantas, it’s a busy transport hub. Similarly, you’ll arrive at New Zealand’s largest airport, Auckland International Airport (AKL). It’s a bit further out from the city centre, lying about 21 km away near the suburb of Mangere. This is about a 20min drive, or you can catch a Skybus that will take around 40min. Auckland International is the main hub for Air New Zealand, so it’s also a bustling, modern airport.

You will be able to choose from two to three direct flights from Sydney to Auckland every day. These are roughly equally split between the two countries’ national carriers, Qantas and Air New Zealand. Both of these airlines offer direct flights out of Sydney Kingsford Smith Airport, and you can expect a normal flight time of just about 3h before landing at Auckland International Airport. Some flights are slightly shorter, but the difference is only a matter of about 10min, so unless you’re really in a hurry, you can choose any of the direct flights you like.

The main layover city for Air New Zealand flights is Melbourne, with layover times ranging 4h-4h 30min. Qantas flights make their layovers at Brisbane Airport (BNE), with the standard layover time of just around 2h.
