Auckland Airport

The airport that serves New Zealand’s biggest city. Has improved its facilities and eatery options during the Covid period. But could still be one of the least impressive airports among developed countries. I wonder why so little has been done during the quiet Covid period. Definitely not a good first impression for tourists.

The biggest and busiest airport in New Zealand. Smart design. Bright, good ambience. Clean and quiet. Very well managed and maintained. Efficient security, customs and immigration staff and facilities. Good variety of services and facilities. Restaurants and Cafe's, lounges, local handicrafts, gift and souvenir shops, travel accessories, duty free with major brands available, and much more. Clear signs everywhere. Information desks. Clean and comfortable seating in waiting areas. Friendly and helpful staff.

Immigration staff, absolutely wonderful. They're down to earth and they can take a joke.The airport itself is well maintained, tidy and a very easy flow from parking all the way to the gates. A wide enough range of food to keep the all kids happy but probably not enough for the Americans (#shotsfired)Seating was a little slim especially around gates 40s but then again you don't have to be there for too long.None the less, penty of setting in the dining areas and you've got a panoramic view of the airstrips. It's a great place to sit back, down a cold one (or hot one) and watch the planets land and take off.It was an absolute great end to Kiwi Holliday.

Easy to find your way around. The gate number is available only 1 hour before boarding, interesting if it is not a way to have the passengers spending and shopping more as at the gates area there are no shops.

Thanks so much for making my kids 1st ever flight a great one, helpful staff both at the airport and on the plane. Sunflower lanyards were useful in making staff aware of their hidden disability. Smooth, fast, easy processing, many thanks.

Most up-to-date airport I’ve seen in awhile. Boarding pass and barcode for checked in bags gets printed by a smart machine. TSA is all automated with machines , the trays to stow carry-ons is automated. Huge duty-free shopping and an assortment of bar and restaurants to indulge in. Big Thumbs up Auckland.

Great signage, great toilet facilities, great selection of shopping, and eateries. Very modern and only getting better. Parking is a real issue at the moment though.

Touchdown on our first leg, transit via an interconnecting flight to Christchurch from Auckland.Quite a bit messy for us as we have not been travelling much in the last 5 years.Supposed to just transfer luggage to domestic departure end up realise we had to check in ourselves too.Almost got hung up at customs due to some issues and potentially missed our flight.

For a small airport, they have thoroughly thought about the traveler's needs. After you clear security and enter the duty-free area, there are plenty of seats to sit back and enjoy food from the food court. The seats are comfortable, and most have options for charging and plugging your laptops.
