We flew from Vancouver to Auckland and it took us approximately 12 -13 hours (yours would be a little further). I believe you would have to change flights in Auckland to fly down to Wellington. We took a senic train from Auckland to Wellington and it was very nice - it was about 8 hours though. But you got to see so much more than flying. If this is your first trip you really need to take a trip to the south island - picture postcard beautiful!

Crossing the International Date Line when traveling from Rarotonga to Auckland is significant because it results in a change of date. Rarotonga, in the Cook Islands, is located just east of the Date Line, while Auckland, New Zealand, is just west of it. Therefore, when a traveler moves from Rarotonga to Auckland, they effectively "gain" a day, meaning if they leave Rarotonga on a Monday, they will arrive in Auckland on the following day, Tuesday. This shift can affect travel plans, scheduling, and time management for travelers.
The shortest travel time from Auckland to Barcelona or Madrid by current airline flights and times would be approximately 30-33 hours with at least two stops and one plane change. 5 or more hours of this time would be "layover" or waiting time at one or more of these stops.
