Route notes
Why this routing works
This itinerary is structured as a one-stopover, one-layover multi-stop ticket: Auckland to San Jose, then onward to Stuttgart, with Honolulu used as a same-day connection point rather than an overnight stop. The longest planned ground time is the 19-night stay in San Jose, which makes it the main stop in the routing.
Because the Honolulu segment is listed as a 0-night layover, the ticket keeps that point in transit rather than turning it into a separate stop. That can be useful when the goal is to bridge a long Pacific routing without adding another stay to the trip plan.
At 36 weeks overall in economy class, this routing works best when the long trip duration is separate from the flight sequence itself: an initial departure in March, a defined stop in Costa Rica, and a later final sector to Germany. The sold price range for this itinerary was $1,856 to $2,421.
