New Zealand is known for its incredibly stunning scenery — and an incredibly long flight if you live in the US like me.
I set out to see those views in June 2022 and embarked on a 24-hour journey to the country.
I boarded a flight in Denver heading to Los Angeles and arrived at my final destination — Auckland, New Zealand — two days later.
Between time-zone changes, a 13-hour flight, a 2.5-hour flight, and layovers, I spent nearly 24 consecutive hours in airports, airport lounges, and airplanes.

Business Insider received a press rate for the round-trip flight from Air New Zealand.
