These usually involve a stop in a major European hub such as London or Frankfurt, before flying to a gateway city in Australia (Sydney, Melbourne) or New Zealand (Auckland) and then onwards to Hamilton. These stopovers add to the journey time and require extra time for airport transfers and security checks.

Alternative flight paths exist, sometimes involving multiple stopovers that could potentially increase the overall travel duration.
