Getting to and from the airport
Auckland Airport sits in Mangere, about 21 km south of the city centre. Most travellers arrive by shuttle, rideshare, private transfer, the AirportLink bus, or rental car via SH20 and SH20A. If you're collecting someone, there's short-stay and long-stay parking — book ahead over school holidays and the summer peak. For live parking rates, terminal maps and flight times, use the official airport site linked above.
