Terminals
The airport has two terminals - one international and the other domestic. Transferring between the two terminals is a 10-minute walk (not covered; so, not a pleasant walk in cold or rainy weather). In normal times, a shuttle bus runs between the two terminals from 5 a.m. to 10:30 p.m., but is suspended at the moment due to the coronavirus.
There are flights to and from various cities in Australia, Bangkok, Beijing, Doha, Hong Kong, Los Angeles, Manila, San Francisco, Shanghai, and Shenzhen among other places.
Flight time Sydney to Auckland is approximately 3 hours, 10 minutes.
