Auckland International Airport

    Auckland is New Zealand’s major airport, and most tourists arrive here. However, if you only want to travel on the South Island, consider flying with an international carrier that flies directly to Christchurch. And if you have limited time you could fly into one of those main cities and fly out of the other. (You can check those airlines on my Christchurch page.) Some airlines have international flights to Wellington and Queenstown, but just from Australia and the South Pacific.

    Air New Zealand’s international connections go via Auckland only.

    The airport is about 20 kilometres south-west of the city centre, in the suburb of Manukau. I always consider the landing exciting as shortly before the touch-down you fly very low over a harbour, and I always hope that the pilot makes it to the runway… ;-)

    If you arrive from overseas and have a connecting flight to another destination in New Zealand you have to go through immigration in Auckland where your luggage is also checked. The bags never get checked through to other NZ destinations.

    After the immigration procedure you have to re-check in your luggage. Air New Zealand has a counter next to immigration exit in the Arrival Hall. If you fly by one of the other airlines (Qantas, Pacific Blue, etc.) you have to get your luggage to the Domestic Terminal and check it in there.

    The Domestic Terminal is a 10 minute walk – along a blue line - from the International Terminal. Only walk in good weather conditions as most sections of the footpath are open air.

    Especially from spring to January it is very nice to walk because the walkway is like a pohutukawa alley, and with the trees in red flowers you get a great welcome feeling ;-)

    If the weather is rubbish or you are tired you can use the free shuttle bus that runs every some minutes between the terminals from 6am to 10.30pm.

    Auckland by Air!

    Do not miss out on the opportunity to see Auckland by air. One of the unique things about this city is that when you are on a flight from Australia, you actually fly all the way over the city, circle around, and make your approach back across the city before landing. It is only about 5 minutes wide by plane, as New Zealand is a very slender strip of island.

    The view of the bays and small pennisulas are really great, although I do wish that they would have cleaned our windows before the trip, so we could have taken a couple more pictures that were worthwhile!

    Auckland International Airport is AKL, and it is serviced by several major carriers, but the big ones are Air New Zealand, Qantas, LAN Chile, and United.

    Auckland International Airport (AKL)

  • New Zealand’s largest and busiest airport. Most overseas visitors to New Zealand arrive here. It is located south-west of the city of Auckland in the suburb of Mangere. It is like a small town with shopping, service stations and all facilities.

    The Mangere airport was officially opened in January 1966. It is situated 21km (14 miles) from Downtown Auckland City. The main International Terminal is known as The Jean Batten International Terminal Building after Jean Batten who was a pioneer New Zealand aviator in the 1920s and 1930s.

    Flying in from Australia and USA

  • Air New Zealand, Qantas, and United have the most flights from Australia and the USA. Auckland is the largest city in New Zealand and is most likely the point of entry you will use.

    Since New Zealand is far away from everything, it is a good idea to look for discounted tickets or shop around as much as possible. Another thing to consider is making a trip out of a stopover. Most people I know that have been to New Zealand from the USA or Europe have used their stopovers as a 2 or 3 day stop to see another Pacific destination, such as Hawaii, Fiji, Tahiti, or L.A.

    Auckland Airport is the main airport in New Zealand and a link between Australia and South America and many Pacific islands. There is also a good range of duty free stores.

    Long Term Car Parking at Auckland Airport

  • Updated By kiwi on January 3, 2009

  • I used the Long Term carpark at Auckland Airport Domestic Terminal which I found to be very reasonably priced and not worth making other arrangements.
    I also used the credit card service SmartPay where you insert your credit card into the machine on entrance, the barrier arm is raised and you enter. On exit, some days later you merely enter the same credit card and it charges the card, issues you a receipt and you may exit.
    This is the most simple and convenient system.
    The fee is calculated hourly, I was there 2days and 55 minutes for a cost of $NZD40.00.
    What is also good about this is that there were trolleys right there in the park for me to take my luggage to the terminal which was merely a 5 minute walk away. The path was covered all the way, so very convenient. The carpark is uncovered.

    Now there is a Park & Ride long term carpark just 2 km from the terminals, with free courtesy shuttle bus every 15 mins. Parks are monitored by security while you are away. The rates are very reasonable: Stay for 5 days – only $59.00; Stay for 7 days - only $69.00 .
    You can read more about it on the website quoted here in this tip.
