Check-in
Fly through our new domestic terminals. We've transformed our terminals in Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch so you can get through these airports faster.
These new terminals are self service in style, with easy to use check-in kiosks, a new bag drop area to place your own bags, and new 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.
When to check in
You are required to be checked in 30 minutes before the departure of your domestic New Zealand flight, unless you are connecting to an international flight. In that case, please be checked in 60 minutes prior to the departure of your domestic flight.
Please remember to carry proof of identity with you as you will 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.
Christchurch to Auckland: flights NZ34, NZ90 and NZ98
If you're flying from Christchurch to Auckland on any of these flights, you'll depart from the Christchurch International terminal. You must check in at least 60 minutes before departure at the international check-in counters.
All travellers including children and infants will need a valid form of photo identification for check-in and boarding (i.e. passport or drivers licence).
When you get to Auckland you will arrive at the international terminal so Customs and MAF screening will apply.
