Whats a long haul flight to you? If you are outside Aus then you need to get here first and have a stop over so as to cut down the flying time and if you are on the other side of the world.... go for a series of shorter flights with stopovers.
There are as others have suggested cruise ships and going from the sublime to ridiculous.. you could consider hitching a ride on a freighter- a bit like an ocean going backpackers (theres an organisation that arranges real cheap travel on freighters but I cant remember the name).

They say that flying with Air New Zealand is the way to go. The planes are more comfortable, more legroom etc. They should know how to fly long haul.
As the previous answer mentioned break up the flight. London - HK - Bali - Sydney - Auckland/Wellington

wear loose airy clothing and comfortable shoes. On most long haul flights you will be given travel socks to prevent risk of clots. they look like ordinary socks so you can wear them if you like. I would advise you to get a good rest before the flight and don't eat anything heavy. Drink plenty of fluids before and during the flight and move about as much as you can or at least move your feet as they swell alot. I have given you these tips to keep jetlag to a minimum. Try to avoid alcohol before and during the flight also or at least keep your intake to a minimum. Good luck. No harm having a sweater with you in the plane as the blankets are very light. Most of the time the plane is very warm especially if pretty full, but at times it can get cool.

Where are you from?
There are cruise ships that call there all the time.
I fly to NZ from SA and I am absolutely phobic. But we must do what we must do lol.

I would say a cruise ship! Or you could go to a few other countries first, but either way, you'll love it here!
good luck
