Arriving at Auckland Airport

After your international flight arrives, you will need to clear New Zealand's arrival formalities before making your way to the Domestic Terminal. 

Allow at least 3 hours for your international-to-domestic connection. This allows for immigration, baggage collection, Customs and biosecurity, and the transfer between terminals.

The International and Domestic Terminals are in separate buildings. A free airport bus operates between them every 15 minutes from 5:00am to 11:00pm daily. At the international terminal, the bus leaves from Bus Stop B at the Transport Hub. Alternatively, you can use the signposted walkway, which takes approximately 10-15 minutes.
