Nelson Airport (IATA: NSN) opened in the 1930s and today operates as a single-terminal regional airport serving Nelson and the Tasman region. Compact but busy for a regional field, NSN is an important gateway for South Island travelers with frequent domestic flights to Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch, so it’s a convenient option when searching cheap flights to Nelson, NZ. The airport sits about 5–7 km from Nelson city centre at Tāhunanui and is easily reached by car, taxi, shuttle and local bus links, with quick road and ferry connections. Facilities and parking are modest and generally affordable, and the airport acts as a key destination for Air New Zealand and a base for smaller regional carriers such as Sounds Air.
Tap-and-go works almost everywhere in Nelson, but if you need cash, there’s a single ATM in the terminal and better exchange rates waiting in the city centre. Skip dynamic currency conversion and make larger withdrawals in town to dodge fees and queues.
Looking for duty-free? Nelson’s single-terminal setup is domestic-only, so you’ll instead find handy airside and landside shops for local gifts, wine, and travel essentials, with hours tied to the first and last flights. Prices track city levels (sometimes a touch higher), and both departing and arriving passengers can browse with ease.
Fuel up before takeoff at a compact lineup of cafés—from a runway‑view café‑bar in the main hall to a quick espresso counter by the gates. Expect locally roasted coffee, cabinet snacks and a few sit‑down meals, with prices just a touch higher than in town.
Quick first-aid help is on hand from trained staff during terminal hours, while the departures kiosk stocks basic meds and travel kits; for prescriptions, nearby pharmacies in Stoke and Richmond are only a short ride away.
Drop your suitcase at the information desk by the check‑in area and explore Nelson hands‑free. There aren’t self‑service lockers, but staff can usually hold bags during terminal hours for about NZ$15–25 per day, with oversize items accepted by arrangement.
Settle into sunlit seating with runway views or slip into the single upstairs Air New Zealand lounge before boarding. Free Wi‑Fi, easy-to-find power and snacks are sorted, with quieter corners airside — just note there are no showers and the terminal isn’t 24 hours.
