At Auckland International Airport:

- You will find GSM Sim Cards for '2 degrees, Vodafone, Telecom' at the duty free section

- As you go out towards the receiving area, you will see a 'Vodafone Shop' that sells Sim cards, it is right opposite Mcdonalds. International Credit Cards are accepted here. Below is an example of what plans you could expect.

Note that new plans come up every now and then and the plan shown below may not be valid anymore.

Note: Sim card costs an extra $10 in addition to these prices mentioned below.




- There is 30 minutes of free WiFi at Auckland Airport. You can also get paid access to WiFi. There is a Boingo hotspot which you can use if you're a member. There is also free WiFi at McDonalds on the 1st floor!

- NZ$2 coins provides 10 minutes of internet access at internet kiosks and major credit cards accepted.

- Map of the airport can be found on the Auckland Airport website.

Going to Auckland City Center from the Airport

- Most of us would want to go to the City Center from the airport. You can obviously take a taxi from the Airport to the City Center. But why spend for a cab when we have a direct bus going to the City Center.

- The AirBus costs $16 from Airport to Ferry Terminal/Britomart (City Center). Tickets can be purchased at the Airbus Kiosk just outside the Airport terminal, next to the Airbus Stop. Tickets can also be purchased online.



- A more detailed map can be found on the Airbus Website.

- For those who want to go to the North Shore Hospital area, the Northern flyer ticket ($19) would be a better option. This ticket can be purchased at the same Airbus Kiosk mentioned above. It includes the Airbus from Airport to Britomart/Ferry Terminal and the Northern Express Bus (NEX) from Britomart to Smales Farm Bus Station (close to North Shore Hospital).

- You can carry your luggage in the Bus. There are no extra fees for your luggage.
