Flying to New Zealand (Unicon 15)
I'n considering to attend Unicon 15 in Wellington, New Zealand (Dec 2009 - Jan 2010). From the Netherlands I could only find a triple-legged flight: Amsterdam - London - Sydney - Wellington. Does anyone know of a departure airport close to the Netherlands where I could skip one transfer? -- Klaas Bil ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Klaas Bil's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/3442 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/74536 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

Hello, I found this page, but it is in german. But I think for Klaas it is ok. www.neuseeland.de There you can read that London is the only airport in europe with a direct flight to Auckland. The plane stops in Los Angeles, but you don't have to change the plane if I undersand it right. But I think it is not funny to sit 22h in your seat. So we will look for a 1 or 2 stop flight from Düsseldorf or Frankfurt. They stops normaly in Dubai, Sinagpoure or somewhere in china. So you can run around in the airport after 6-10 hours flight. -- JLo Sponsor:'POINT RACING TEAM' (http://www.pointbike.de) 'Einradhockeyliga' (http://www.einradhockeyliga.de) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JLo's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/3223 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/74536 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

Thanks Jan. Indeed -ohne Umsteigen -in Los Angeles. I also note they go the longer direction around the world, although it's not very much of a difference. However, from Auckland to Wellington is another 500 km or so. In effect still a three-legged flight for me (A - L - A - W). But the distance is so large that I probably have to live with that. -- Klaas Bil ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Klaas Bil's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/3442 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/74536 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

The thing is Wellington is the more minor city to fly into in New Zealand so you have to fly through Sydney or Auckland. I can't even find a direct flight from Los Angeles to Wellington, so there is little option to cut a leg off the journey at that end. The only options I can find from Europe to Sydney or Auckland are via London or Frankfurt. Although it seems the flights to Auckland actually stop over in Los Angeles or San Francisco, making it really a 4 leg flight. It seems one other option you have is to fly through San Francisco or Los Angeles, but that's still a 3 leg flight. -- ThisGuyIKnow ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ThisGuyIKnow's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/10203 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/74536 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

From Klaas Bil's thread about flights from Amsterdam to Wellington. I was doing some research on flights from Europe and it seems many European unicyclists might have stop overs in Los Angeles. Might there be interest in arranging some sort of a Los Angeles Unicycle Stop over for Unicon Bound travelers. If enough people were interested in making a day or 2 stop over maybe we could arrange something. It might be possible to arrange home stays, rides, and sightseeing with local Southern California riders. Maybe the costs of extending a lay over would be too high to make it worthwhile. I don't know. Is there any interest in this from the local Southern California riders and any unicyclists that might be travelling through Los Angeles for Unicon? -- ThisGuyIKnow ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ThisGuyIKnow's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/10203 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/74536 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

there used to be direct flights from Sydney to Wellington, but you'd probably have to book that seperately... -- mikepenton Uni - The Unicycle Magazine 'www.unicyclemagazine.com' (http://www.unicyclemagazine.com) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mikepenton's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/7090 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/74536 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

The itinerary I mentioned in my initial post (Amsterdam-London-Sydney-Wellington) includes the direct flight you mention, and I can book it as one ticket (albeit not more than one year ahead). -- Klaas Bil ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Klaas Bil's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/3442 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/74536 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

I've added a bit more info on the Unicon XV website: www.uniconxv.co.nz We've got a Unicon XV forum up also which might be a good place to keep discussions in one place (although I know RSU has way more traffic). There will be more NZ riders that frequent those forums if you need a hand with accomodation/planning your holiday. As for flying into Wellington....it is an international airport, but has a very short runway, so only takes international flights from Australia. For bigger planes, you have to fly via Auckland or Christchurch. There are quite a few connections from Bangkok, Singapore, Hong Kong and around SE Asia. For travel from Europe, main flights seem to travel via London-Hong Kong-Auckland. Obviously depends on your airline though. For the US, there are direct flights from LA-Auckland with Air NZ.
