Arriving in Paris
Auckland International airport is the largest and busiest commercial and passenger hub in New Zealand, serving over nine million international and seven and a half million domestic passengers every year.
Modern and recently updated, the airport welcomes passengers from all over the world, and because of New Zealand’s location, sees a very high volume of long-haul passengers.
Auckland is a key transport hub in the Pacific region, and passengers flying from Auckland with Qatar Airways will find it to be a friendly, welcoming and very well-organised airport.
Transportation and parking
Auckland International airport is well served by public transport, with regular buses running every 20-30 minutes from the centre of Auckland. Look for Airbus and Maxx services, which also interconnect with other locations including Albany, Botany and Pakuranga. Shuttle buses run between most large hotels and the airport, and your hotel concierge will be able to provide you with timetables.
Taxi ranks are also located to the west of the International terminal building and a taxi journey from the centre of Auckland should take approximately 30 minutes, depending on the time of day and traffic conditions.
Limousines are also available for hire. Parking at the airport is plentiful with both short- and long-term options, undercover parking with high security, and a valet parking service.
Arriving at the airport
Passengers flying from Auckland with Qatar Airways depart from the International Terminal departure area. The international departure area is located on the upper level of the Terminal, and is connected via escalators and elevators. It is a very large building, so it is important to ensure you are in the correct part of the terminal and to leave yourself plenty of time to get to your check-in desk.
Security can be very tight, so allow approximately two hours before your flight is due to board to clear check-in and security checks.
Facilities and amenities
Auckland International airport has excellent facilities, with over 100 shops on-site and plenty of food and drink outlets too. One unique feature of the airport is a shopping collection point, where goods bought elsewhere in New Zealand from participating shops can be sent straight to the airport, to be collected before you fly out.
Food options include premium-quality sushi and Asian cuisine, through to on-the-go snacks and coffee outlets. For business travellers there are two large conference rooms in the international terminal building, and additional meeting rooms throughout the airport. Spacious VIP lounges are available for First and Business Class passengers.
Flying from Djibouti
The country of Djibouti on the horn of Africa is a vibrant and welcoming location that has seen a steady increase in tourism over the past few years. Its fascinating history and proactive, positive attitude has made it an attractive destination for both business entrepreneurs and tourists alike.
The country is served by the small but very efficient Djibouti–Ambouli International Airport (which is located approximately nine kilometres from the capital). Passengers flying from Djibouti with Qatar Airways will find this to be a great starting point for their journey, with welcoming and attentive staff intent on providing a very personal service to passengers.
Transportation and parking
The most practical way to get to the airport is by taxi. These can be arranged in advance by your hotel reception or concierge service. Limousine services are also available for VIPs, and the airport is used to receiving high-ranking officials and VIP guests.
Limousines and taxis all stop directly outside the main building. Because the airport is also used by the military, civilian parking is somewhat limited and strictly controlled, therefore it is probably best to make alternative arrangements for your vehicle and travel to the airport by taxi, rather than driving.
Arriving at the airport
Passengers flying from Djibouti with Qatar Airways depart from the main terminal Departures lounge. The airport’s compact size means that it is relatively easy to find your way around, and check-in is a quick process that tends to be hassle free. However, because the airport is also a military base, security is very tight, so expect to be asked for your papers at various intervals throughout the check-in process and during your wait.
Allow around two hours before your flight is due to board to check in and clear customs and security checks.
Facilities and amenities
Facilities are limited at the airport, with food and drink being provided by some vendors. The waiting area is spacious and comfortable, and there are ATMs throughout the terminal and a currency exchange service.
