Christchurch International Airport (CHC) is the South Island’s main international gateway and typically functions as a mixed hub for full-service carriers and budget airlines serving domestic and trans-Tasman routes. Located about 12 km northwest of the city center, travel to central Christchurch usually takes 15–25 minutes by taxi or rideshare, with fares often in a moderate range; the orbital bus and Airbus shuttle run 30–40 minutes and can be considerably cheaper. Car hire and shuttle services are widely available, while parking is convenient but can be pricier for long stays. Pros: straightforward layout and frequent connections; cons: can be busy during peak seasons and requires a short transfer into town.
Auckland Airport (AKL) is New Zealand’s main international gateway and the country’s largest airport, serving a mix of full-service international carriers and some low-cost regional operators. Located about 20 km (roughly 30–40 minutes by car depending on traffic) southwest of the central business district, it’s connected by regular bus and shuttle services and an airport express coach; travel times and fares can vary but expect roughly NZD 10–25 for public bus options and higher for private transfers. The airport typically offers comprehensive amenities and multiple lounges, which can make connections comfortable, while peak-hour road congestion and the single major international terminal can add to transit times for some travelers.
