I went to NZ and Australia a few years ago. Stopped off at Singapore which was a lovely place. Fab street stall and market shopping, great food, wonderful huge orchid garden to walk around and spotlessly clean . No litter anywhere and the people so friendly . Don’t forget a Singapore Sling in Raffles. A lovely part of the holiday.

I'm weird because I prefer to travel via LA. I find it breaks the journey pretty much in half. I will only fly Air New Zealand and prefer no stopover. The rest of the family always take the other routes round and break the journey in various destinations depending on price or places they want to visit, Singapore being a favourite.

Our DD and SIL visited New Zealand early last year. They enjoyed it so much, may relocate there if Brexit doesnt go well.
They flew via Dubai and stopped over for couple of days in Singapore, then had week travelling in Oz to enjoy sun before flying to NZ for two weeks.
Sounded like a great trip if you're able to do longhaul flights.

This is a bit "pie in the sky" at the moment but DH is thinking of holiday in NZ. We had our Canadian holiday cancelled and refunded. I like the idea (although I had assumed we'd try Canada again) but am put off by length of flight. Any suggestions for stop off points on the way where we could poss stay for a few days? I know it might be about a year coming but I love all the plotting and planning.
