Wellington International Airport

Wellington airport is a true gem! From the stunning views of the harbor to the quick and easy check-in process, this airport has it all. The staff are friendly and efficient, and the facilities are top-notch. Plus, the coffee is some of the best in town! #LoveWellingtonAirport

“International” is a huge overstatement. WEL is mid size domestic airport, good enough to get in and out to capital city, with plenty of functional space, several coffee and food options, which are actually much better than other airports in the country. Security area for the bigger planes is a bottleneck, not very modern and not efficient with always long queues. If you don’t arrive at least half an hour before boarding you may miss your flight because of that. Regional gates on the other hand are straightforward with no security at all, which always amazes me in this country. “International” section is on the left hand side next to Jet gates and is tiny and not up to the international standards. Luggage collection downstairs is tiny and crowded. Ride share is 3 mins walk , while airport promotes useless cabs that none wants to use. If you are heading to city you can take Uber or bus , there is no other choice sadly and it’s only one road with always very heavy traffic, especially morning time.

Wellington International Airport is a welcoming place. Everyone is just so kind, friendly, and welcoming. There are many cafés, eateries and shops, where you can spend your time while waiting. To highlight that the prices are really honest and basically the same you find in the city! Most importantly, I found everywhere clean and tidy!

It's a great airport with lots of food options and shopping.The Air New Zealand is really good to fly with a good amount of leg room.The staff is good and the immigration, customs and the baggage checks were clean and smooth.The eagle flying high is a highlight of the airport.They have Super Shuttles from the Airport which are cheaper than cabs and they share people and also have a good amount of luggage space for carriage.

We deliberately arrived early for our flight to have breakfast and watch planes and people. The Lego velociraptor Lego was literally amazing as an addition to Gandalf and the huge birds which we have seen for many visits to the airport.

No delays, quickly people flow thru check-in and security! The way you would like to experience an airport!

Very nice and attractive airport. Multiple shops and full of facilities. I would love to come again. Enjoy the new addition of Lego dinosaur

Airport is usually pretty clean and tidy. Lot of cafes if you don’t have lounge access. Recommend Three Quarter Society, Peloton, and Best Ugly. You need to go through security to access the AirNZ lounge unless you are on the regional flight. Regional AirNZ lounge is often not open on weekends. Regular buses from the Airport two and from the city, most of the time are every 15 minutes.

A small international airport with many eateries. Great sculptures of flying Eagles hanging from the ceiling. As the number of international flights is not great, it is easy to get through security. Food is a bit pricey, but that's airports for you. All in all pretty good.
