New Zealand’s flagship airline says it has started selling tickets for direct flights to and from New York.
Air New Zealand passenger planes are parked on the tarmac at Auckland International Airport in Auckland, New Zealand, Wednesday, March 23, 2022. New Zealand's flagship airline said Wednesday it plans to start direct flights to New York in September, a route that would take more than 17 hours southbound and be among the longest nonstop flights in the world.
For two years, the South Pacific nation imposed some of the world's toughest border restrictions. But the government announced earlier this month that it would reopen to tourists from the U.S. and many other countries by May 1 as the pandemic threat receded. Foran said that things like the war in Ukraine and the zero-COVID policy in China had made Europe and Asia less desirable destinations.
The Mayo Clinic lists long periods of uninterrupted sitting, including on flights, as a risk factor for developing deep vein thrombosis, or blood clots, that usually occur in people's legs.
