You don't need IDP, NZ accept letter of translation from JPJ.

How to do that? how much do i need to pay for that?

You don't need to apply for any international driving license to drive in NZ. Your Malaysia license is valid for few months there. Pretty sure this has been discussed before earlier on this thread. Please search for it.

hei, ask ask u guy.
cos i'm planning a 2 weeks trip to South NZ next year (ya...now still very early. but at least i can save $$ from now)
Since now AA cancel the route arleady.
may i know what other alternative cheap airticket?
around how much? i check MAS around rm3700 per person to auckland.
errr kind of expensive rite?

pleaseeee advise. tq!

Now still early to say. But here's an advice if you don't like transits, fly straight though it might be really costly. SIA = RM5k return based on experience.

If not, you can take AAX to Australia, Jetstar, Air NZ will provide some other cheaper rates for you to fly to NZ. There are actually flights like Jetstar from KL but then, the transit time. Hohoho.

ohh but Australia need Visa rite?

I've bought MAS for RM1.5k including tax before AAX starts flying to CHC.
Do keep lookout for cheaper promos, they pop out without notice at all!

Hoho. Regarding the Visa, I'm not too sure as well as I've never taken a transit from Aus. Few of my friends have but not me. I either drop straight to Auckland then change to Air NZ or Jetstar (mostly Air NZ) or fly SIA to CHC.

Well, for my friends, they always stop by Melbs and once in awhile Sydney. Most of the time it's this 2 places.

anyone know any cheap airline to auckland ? direct flight if possible

Direct flights are harder to find (unless there's a major promo). I received email from SIA stating that Auckland/Christchurch return trip promo is on now. RM3.4k +/-. Good news indeed.

For low cost, best option now is Jetstar via Singapore. Or you can do KL-Coolangatta with D7, then look for sale from Jetstar/PacificBlue/AirNZ to cross Tasman Sea.

SIA and MAS if you want KL-Auckland direct. Yesterday saw Emirates at Matta fair got promotion KL-Auckland for RM3k like that, but I didn't enquire about the details.

Best budget option as mat sputnik has already mentioned is Jetstar.

Flight departs around 2pm from KLIA to Singapore, then transit few hours, leave for Auckland from Singapore around 7pm.
My dad just took Jetstar to Auckland from KL yesterday afternoon. He just called back this morning to tell us the flight was very good and everything went very well.
Oh and they don't charge for water unlike Airasia.

Jetstar is a good choice but I've yet to test it out for the long distance yet. All from AKL < - > CHC only. Should try it out sometime.

Sometimes, flying to SG straight and catch the connecting flight to AKL is better. Don't need to waste too much time in the airport as well.

just a quick question. I'll be travelling to south island this tuesday for 2 weeks. I just want to know what are the weather looks like at this time of the year? thanks

you can try (to believe) the 2-week forecast here, in this case for queenstown: http://timeanddate.com/weather/new-zealand/queenstown/ext

Thanks. One more thing, just to be sure. They don't require visa right? I mean, they give visa on arrival right? Like singapore

Yes, but if you are transiting in Australia, you need Aus visa.

You don't need a visa to transit in aus unless you plan to disembark from the airport

hmm ..so if i take AAX from KL to Sydney, holiday few days & take Jetstars from Aus to Christchurch. like tat i can minimize the fare?
cos hb give me rm15k budget for 2 weeks. aiya.. if cheapest airticket rm3k for 1. how to cover woh.
