Have you thought about flying with Emirates? We went with them from Glasgow to Akl in 2006. I think they fly from London too. We had a 10 (I think) hour stopover in Dubai, but they put you up in a basic but fine hotel room (ensuite bathroom, tv etc) & give you breakfast before they take you back to the airport for your connecting flight. They fly into Akl, Wgn & Chch.
We didn't have children with us but found their service excellent & would highly recommend them, along with most of the other Asian airlines & of course Air NZ!
