Perth to Auckland Flights

Flying out of Perth

Use ebookers to find great deals on flights from Perth. Perth Airport is the major airport serving the Perth area, seeing over twelve million passengers each year and being one of the busiest airports in the world. It hosts many domestic airlines, such as Jetstar, Qantas, and Skywest, and international carriers, such as United, US Airways, British Airways, and Air Canada. The international and domestic terminals are almost six miles apart, meaning the domestic terminals are about seven miles from Perth’s city centre, while the international terminal is almost eleven miles from the city.

Where to Park

As the domestic terminals and the international terminal are so far apart, you will need to be sure you park in the correct lot to avoid a long walk or shuttle. Both the domestic terminals and the international terminal have long-term parking available at $55 for three days and $10 for each subsequent day. Over 3,500 parking spots are available in total, and a free shuttle is available to take to and between the terminals. You can also opt for the covered parking, which costs $120 for three days and $30 for each additional day.

How to Get There

Bus 37 runs from Kings Park, which is west of Perth’s city centre, directly to the domestic terminals in around fifty-five minutes and costs $4 per ride. Though the bus does not run to the international terminal, a shuttle takes passengers between terminals. A taxi from Perth to the airport will cost you less than $40 plus a $2 fee. In addition, you can always use ebookers reserve a rental car to take you to the airport.

Where to Eat

If you are flying out of the international terminal, one of the best places to get a cup of coffee and a snack is Aromas. It carries an assortment of teas, coffee drinks, and baked goods. For a bigger meal, BLD offers delicious sandwiches and salads to curb your hunger. At the domestic terminals, be sure to check out Dome for your morning caffeine boost. It is beautifully designed and serves hand-roasted premium coffee. For lunch or dinner, grab a sandwich or wrap from Fresh Connections, which uses only the freshest ingredients, so you can fill up with a healthy meal before leaving Perth.

Arriving in Auckland

If you travel to Auckland by air, you will likely fly into Auckland Airport. The airport is located about thirteen miles south of the city on George Bolt Memorial Drive, making it a convenient location if you plan on visiting the northern part of New Zealand. Make your flight reservations aboard Air New Zealand, British Airways, or one of ten other airlines serving Auckland when you book your flight with ebookers.

Leaving the Airport

It takes about thirty minutes to reach downtown Auckland by car, so allow half an hour if you take a taxi or hire a rental car. The rates for taxis are between NZ$60-NZ$80 for a ride into the city, with an extra fee for additional passengers. Rates for rental cars can be compared side-by-side on the ebookers website. There is also a blue express bus from the airport, which can take you to the downtown ferry terminal in ten minutes for a fare of about NZ$16.

Weather in Auckland

Because Auckland is located in the southern hemisphere, the coolest months are from June through August, when average highs stay around 15°C and lows are between seven and eight degrees. January and February see the hottest temperatures, with lows above fifteen degrees and highs averaging more than 23°C. The warmest months also see the least precipitation, making Auckland an ideal holiday getaway during the cold winter months of the northern hemisphere. Pack plenty of sunscreen if you travel during January, as Auckland sees over 225 hours of sunshine during the first month of the year.

Enjoy Your Holiday

The largest city in New Zealand has plenty to offer both outdoor adventurers and those who are more inclined to stay indoors. Outdoor types traveling during New Zealand's warmer months will thrill at the 360-degree views of Auckland offered by the volcanic cone Mount Eden, the city's highest point. For those who would rather be indoors, another spectacular view can be seen from Sky Tower, the highest free-standing structure of the entire southern hemisphere. If you want some structure during your Auckland holiday, search for tour packages when you make your reservations with ebookers.
