The flights within New Zealand:

FlightStats provides updated information during these flights, including departure and arrival status, airport conditions, etc.

Invercargill to Christchurch ~ Christchurch to Auckland

Auckland to Los Angeles:

On this leg of the journey, you get the information above and you will also see live tracking on a map when North American radar picks up the flight. This will show the plane's relative position and flight path, but not right away.

Flight Aware links show the current/latest flight, and provides data shortly after the flight crosses the equator. If you click on the Flight Aware link early and it's still showing information for a different flight #2 and/or the segment of this flight from Los Angeles to London Heathrow, scroll to the bottom of the page and select the 10:10 PM March 4 flight from Auckland to Los Angeles.

FlightStats links customize to our specific flights, and do not pick up the flight for live tracking until it's almost to the North American mainland (about 30-45 minutes prior to arrival in Los Angeles). On their page, keep an eye on the map as the link below it to live tracking may not appear right away. Once it does pick up the flight, their map interfaces with Google to provide zoom, pan, and your choice of street, satellite or hybrid maps.
