Wellington Airport (WLG) serves as New Zealand’s primary gateway to the capital region and is typically a mid-sized domestic and short-haul international hub rather than a long-haul gateway. Carriers are usually a mix of full-service national airlines and budget operators offering frequent flights to Auckland, Christchurch and some Pacific or Australian routes; fares can be competitive on domestic sectors. The airport sits about 8 km east of the CBD; travel to the city center typically takes 20–30 minutes by taxi or rideshare (roughly NZD 30–45), or 30–40 minutes by bus (around NZD 2–5). Pros: compact terminals, quick transfer times and good local connections. Cons: limited long-haul options and occasional wind-related disruptions.

Bangkok is served by two main airports with distinct roles. Suvarnabhumi (BKK) is the international hub handling most long-haul and full-service carriers; it usually offers a wide range of lounges, transfer facilities and higher-priced ticket options compared with low-cost terminals. Located about 30–40 km east of downtown, typical transit choices include the Airport Rail Link to central Bangkok (around 30–40 minutes, fares usually in the low single digits USD), taxis or ride-hailing (35–60 minutes depending on traffic, fares vary). Pros: modern facilities and extensive connections; cons: distance and busy immigration queues at peak times. Don Mueang (DMK) typically functions as the budget and domestic airport, hosting several low-cost carriers and short-haul services. It lies roughly 20–30 km north of the city centre and is often quicker to reach in light traffic. Options include buses and shuttle services (30–60 minutes, low-cost), taxis or ride-hailing (30–50 minutes), and occasional rail/bus links; fares are generally lower than to Suvarnabhumi. Pros: closer for many northern neighborhoods and simpler layouts; cons: fewer long-haul flights and more limited transfer amenities compared with the main international hub.
