Well, as far as I know, a NZ national does not need a transit visa, but has been long since I have had a NZ national going from OSL to the states (has happened though
)
Anyways, there might be other factors in the picture..
But as a handling agent, I have mostly worked with KL and AF, and I know it is just a lot of hassle there, in the sense of a lot of shocons.
But is there nothing through HKG or BKK or similar?
Not to big on knowledge of the Asian hubs, but there has to be someone going to, at least the middle/south American region?
I guess there would be quite a few shocons there as well, but would think it might be easier.
Anyways, hope I might have been of some assistance
Best regards,
