Route notes
Why this routing works
This itinerary uses an overland break at the front end, starting on the ticket from Fort Lauderdale and picking up the first flown segment from Queenstown. That setup works well when you want flexibility before the long-haul portion begins, while still keeping the onward flights on one multi-stop plan.
From Queenstown, the routing steps north to Auckland before crossing to Perth, then continues west through Kuala Lumpur, Istanbul and Dublin. The sequence keeps the trip moving in one direction across the South Pacific, Australasia, Southeast Asia and Europe rather than backtracking between regions.
With five weeks total, this is paced as a fast multi-region itinerary rather than a long stay in any one stop. In economy, the sold range of USD 4,153 to USD 5,437 positions it as a structured long-haul ticket for travelers prioritizing coverage across several regions within a fixed timeframe.
The ticket also uses different gateway cities in South Florida, departing from Fort Lauderdale and finishing in West Palm Beach. That open-jaw structure can be practical when the best long-haul pricing or schedule flow does not require returning to the exact same airport at the end.
