Transportation from the City Center to Wellington Airport
The city of Wellington has a very good transportation network and organization, both because it is the capital and one of the most populated cities in New Zealand. Therefore, transportation from Wellington city center to Wellington Airport is very easy.
Express buses departing from Wellington Train Station in the city center every 10 to 20 minutes reach the airport in 25 to 35 minutes depending on the traffic situation. The buses have free internet, USB chargers and luggage storage areas. You can pay the bus fare in cash, by Snapper card or by contactless debit or credit card. Although the bus operates 7 days a week, you can find the departure times and stop information on the official website of the business.
You can reach the airport by public transport as well as this express bus. You can get off at 700 meters from the airport by taking The Metlink Route 2 line, which is a normal city line and goes to Seatoun. Stop 7033 at the intersection of Hobart Street and Broadway is the closest stop to the airport. Just be careful; If you take the Route 2 – Miramar bus instead of Route 2 – Seatoun, you can take a scenic route instead of the airport.
In addition to UBER, you can safely call a vehicle from Ola and Zoomy applications in Wellington and reach the airport with these vehicles. In areas specially designed for these vehicles, you can get out of the vehicle without haste and take your luggage.
In addition, you can use our hourly car rental applications such as MOOV, Mevo and Cityhop applications. You can park the cars you rented from the city free of charge in the specially reserved parking spaces for this type of vehicle at the airport and board your plane.
Transportation from Christchurch Airport to City Center
Located on the Canterbury plains, Christchurch is the largest city in the South Island of New Zealand and has a very busy international airport.
Christchurch Airport is located in the Harewood Neighborhood, 12 km northwest of the city centre. There are public transportation, taxi, shuttle and private vehicle options to get to the city from the airport, which was opened in 1940.
There are two city buses running from the airport to Christchurch city centre. Purple bus from the airport on the way to Summer via Avonhead and Riccarton and number 29 to the city center via Fendalton.
Apart from these, bus number 125 to Halswell is one of the public transportation options serving Christchurch Airport. It takes 20-30 minutes to get from Christchurch Airport to the city center with buses that leave every half hour on weekdays and every hour on weekends, and the bus ticket can be bought from the driver.
You can leave the gate number 9 of the international arrivals terminal and take the bus number 29 or the purple bus next to Novotel. There are also buses that you can take for almost half the price of city buses, if you walk for five minutes from the terminal and take the risk of getting on just outside the airport.
It takes 15-20 minutes to go to Christchurch from the airport by taxi, and apart from official taxi companies, vehicles that can be called via the phone application such as Uber, Zoomy and Ola can also come to the airport and pick up passengers.
Vehicles called from the application must wait at the passenger pick-up point behind the Express Park building after exiting the terminal. These types of vehicles pay an extra fee to pick up passengers from the airport and add this to your fare.
Shuttles from Christchurch Airport to the city center pick up passengers from gates 7 and 8 of the international arrivals terminal and drop them off at the gate of their destination. It takes 30 minutes to reach the city using these vehicles.
Another useful means of transportation in Christchurch is electric cars, which can be rented hourly or daily via a phone application called Zilch. With zero carbon emissions, you can drive from Christchurch Airport to the city center without harming the environment, and you can even explore the city with this vehicle for the rest of the day.
You can pick up the Zilch car you reserved through the application behind the Express Park building and leave it at The Crossing or West End car parks in the city center.
