Auckland offers a free international–domestic shuttle and a Green Line walking route. Construction can alter the walk and luggage affects its practical time.

What remains to confirm
Before you use one of these routes, check the operating carrier, flight date and current stop with the airport or transport provider. These records can’t tell you whether your bag is checked through, whether you may enter the country, how long the queues are or whether you have enough time to connect.
