Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get from Wellington Airport to the city center?
Wellington Airport is remarkably close to the city center, just 5.5 km away. The Airport Flyer bus runs to Wellington Station in about 20-30 minutes for NZD 5. Taxis cost approximately NZD 25-35 and take about 10-15 minutes. Ride-share services are also available. The proximity makes Wellington one of the most conveniently located capital city airports in the world.
How many terminals does Wellington Airport have?
WLG has one main terminal building that handles both domestic and international flights. The terminal was expanded in 2019 with a new international pier. The airport is compact and easy to navigate, with walking distances between gates kept short.
What is notable about Wellington Airport?
WLG is famous for its challenging wind conditions, as Wellington is one of the windiest cities in the world. The airport's single runway is relatively short at 2,081 meters and features approach challenges that require pilots to be specially certified. A giant Gollum/Smeagol sculpture from The Lord of the Rings adorns the terminal, celebrating Wellington's role as the filmmaking capital of New Zealand.
Is there free Wi-Fi at Wellington Airport?
Yes, WLG provides free unlimited Wi-Fi throughout the terminal. The airport has a selection of cafes, restaurants, and shops featuring New Zealand brands. A rock climbing wall in the main terminal provides entertainment for waiting passengers.
Which airlines operate from Wellington Airport?
Air New Zealand dominates operations with extensive domestic routes and trans-Tasman services to Australian cities. Jetstar also provides domestic and trans-Tasman flights. The short runway limits the size of aircraft that can operate, meaning wide-body long-haul flights cannot serve Wellington, and passengers typically connect through Auckland for intercontinental travel.
