More answers can be found on the dedicated FAQ page
How long is a business class flight from San Francisco to Auckland?
Count on 11½ to 14½ hours of flying time from San Francisco to Auckland. This is the shortest crossing on the list, as New Zealand is the nearest landfall to the Bay Area in this group.
Are there nonstop business class flights from San Francisco to Auckland?

What is the time difference between San Francisco and Auckland?
