Cents per mile = (round trip cash midpoint × 100) ÷ round trip miles required. cpm is invariant under the trip-type toggle — only the absolute miles, cash and savings amounts change. Advantage cpm is roughly half Saver because the miles cost roughly doubles for the same seat. Miles and tax estimates as of April 2026.

Travel tips

Small things travellers like to know about Auckland.

  • Singapore passport holders need an NZeTA plus the International Visitor Levy (IVL) before flying; apply through the official NZeTA app or website, not a third-party agent.
  • New Zealand biosecurity is strict: declare all food, plant material, and used outdoor gear on your arrival card, as undeclared items can draw an on-the-spot fine.
  • Get an AT HOP card (or tap a contactless bank card) for Auckland buses, trains, and ferries; the SkyDrive bus links the airport to the city centre.
  • Driving is on the left, as in Singapore, which makes a self-drive loop to Rotorua or the Coromandel straightforward to plan.
  • Weather can change several times in a day, so pack a waterproof layer even in summer and use strong sun protection, as UV levels run high.
