Is that 6 hours then a stopover followed by another 6 hour fligth so you take several days to reach NZ?

If so then a RTW ticket might be your best option - though getting from NZ to the US in 6 hours steps might prove problematical (perhaps NZ to Japan, Japan to US?)

I'd have a word with a real travel agent like Trailfinders or STA Travel

1. Uk to Emirates
2. Emirates to India
3. India to Singapore/Malaysia
4. Singapore/Malaysia to Sydney (slightly over 6hrs) If this is too long fly to Darwin instead.
5. Sydney to Christchurch

Some good stopovers there too. Will cost you a fortune though.

It might help if you could explain why the six hour limit?

Help what? Reduce the distance between countries?

Help find a solution to the problem, if indeed it is a problem? For instance, if the OP does not wish to fly more than six hours for comfort reasons it may be more economical to fly a more direct route in a premium class.

The best way in terms of price is to keep the same airline throughout, when you start to mix the airlines, the price rises. A RTW trip would mix the airlines but keeping within the same alliance - eg Star Alliance - would keep the price reasonable.
