Auckland Airport

A great airport, very comfortable with plenty of parking options, restrooms and shops to spend your money. Check in is easy and lots of food shops including mc donalds

Modern airport with modem facilities. It has everything you need. One improvement point is to have more weighing machines - there’s only 2 i believe in the international airport. It will be more efficient to have another one. This will prevent large queues forming. The walk from car rental drop off is a bit long (somewhere between 5-10 min walk) but max 10 mins.

While Auckland might be a wonderful city to explore, the gateway to it that is the airport could only be described as a huge disappointment. Despite the friendly staff like all lovely Kiwis, the infrastructure simply wasn't up to standards. With endless long queues through quarantine inspections, cramped baggage conveyer belts to the weird lack of restrooms, the experience was absolutely terrible. For departing passengers, things are even worse. Checkin counters in AKL open at a mere three hours before departure, even for business class passengers. For those who arrive early, this means a lengthy wait at the concourse. With the only two lifts that reach level 2 (where the shops are located ) "banning" luggage trollies, travellers have very limited space to relax. Hopefully they will fix these issues with the incoming upgrades and offer travellers a better gateway to the beautiful country that is Mew Zealand.

Beautiful airport in appearance and service, but bad in terms of waiting. It is unthinkable for customers to wait more than an hour to enter after a travel trip, poor organization.

A great international airport, small in comparison to many. Easy to park in 'shortstay' with a 5-6 minute walk to the terminal. Or there are helpful staff directing drivers in the drop off/pick up zone. A good spacious and airy food hall upstairs with a few shops. Its very easy to find your way around whether youre flying in or out, dropping off or picking up.
