    International departures, beware: 25 dollars, or you will not be able to enter the departure lounge!! Forgive me for swearing, but this is the least pleasant part of flying out of Christchurch. First, you wait in line for the check-in, then you have to wait in an even longer line to pay your departure tax. It almost seems like some kind of government-sponsored employment scheme so that ANZ Bank can have 4 tellers sitting and counting money from early morning until late night. This is ridiculous! Why can't they include this tax in the ticket price? That would make sense. Anyway, lesson learned: Make it to the airport in good time.

  • Don't forget to keep NZD25.00 for departure airport tax as this is not included in the ticket prices. Only cash transactions are accepted to put that aside in advance unless you want to be caught out.

    Set aside NZ 25 per person (children travelling with parents of certain age is exempted - but please check) for the airport departure tax. It is payable at the Bank of New Zealand - CASH!!!
