Making your transit experience as comfortable as possible

Auckland Airport is currently operating with some reduced facilities particularly after 10pm in the evening. If you are transiting in Auckland to another international flight you need to go to the transit and transfer area. Within the transit and transfer area you will undergo security screening which is required before you can board your next flight. At this screening point restrictions apply to the liquids, aerosols and gels that you can take through the screening point and on to your flight. Please be aware that liquids, aerosols and gels bought duty free in other airports (including alcohol, perfumes and creams) are subject to these restrictions and may be confiscated.

After clearing security screening you will be able to enter the departures area of Auckland Airport and await your next flight.
