⏱️ Theoretical Direct Flight

• Air time only: ~17 hr 30 min (777-8/787/A350 range capable)
• Why none? Low demand, high cost, ETOPS, crew rest, better yields via hubs

💡 Booking Tips

• Book single ticket — protects on misconnect
• Prefer Star Alliance (SQ, AI, NZ) or Oneworld (QF, MH) for lounge/through-check
• Target layover 2–4 hr — too tight = risk; too long = fatigue
• Consider stopover in Singapore — free with SQ, breaks journey
• Travel Apr–Jun, Sep–Nov — better fares, weather

🛂 Visa Note

• Indian passport: Transit visa may be needed even airside in AU (SYD/MEL) — check current rules
• SIN, DXB, KUL, HKG — usually visa-free transit

Delhi to Auckland is a haul — plan the connection, not just the flight.
