About 23 hours by plane including transit time. Without transit time, it is about 17 hours by plane [5 from Washington DC to KLAX or KFSO, and then about 12 hours to Auckland form the States]
New Zealand is much smaller compared to Nigeria. Also there are more attackings in Nigeria than there are in New zealand. New zealand is much peacefulier lol
New Zealand certainly isn't 17 hours behind Washington (State or D.C.). Assuming your question is hypothetical ("if" New Zealand is 17 hours behind "Washington"), leaving on 9:00, 5th March on an 18 hour trip, you would arrive in New Zealand at 10:00 the same day (local time)/3:00 "Washington" time.Switching to reality, on 5th March (when the US does not yet have "Daylight Saving", and New Zealand does), Washington D.C.'s -5 UTC/Washington's -8 UTC and New Zealand's +13 UTC puts New Zealand 18 and 21 hours ahead, respectively.Thus, an 18 hour trip leaving at 9:00 local time, would see you arriving 21:00 NZ time the next day (6th March -- that's presuming D.C., given that would give the closest travel time to your suggestion).
Jan. 1 @ 00:00 New Zealand Daylight Saving Time (NZDT; UTC+13) = Dec. 31 @ 06:00 Eastern Standard Time (EST; UTC-5)
it obviously depends where you're flying from and at what time of year!
