Fly through our domestic terminals. Our terminals in Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch have been designed so you can get through these airports faster.
These terminals are self service in style, with easy to use check-in kiosks, a new bag drop area to place your own bags, and scanners for self-boarding at the gate.
And if you don't have any bags to check-in, you'll be able to go straight to the gate, scan your boarding pass and board your flight. All 26 of our domestic terminals now have scanners at the gate, so you can go straight to the gate if you're travelling without bags and have your travel documents with you.
Please remember to carry proof of identity with you as you may be required to present this at check-in. A driver's licence, passport, Airpoints or Koru card, credit card, birth certificate or Community Services Card are all suitable forms of identification. Remember for International travel you’ll need a valid passport and any applicable visas.
