Best time to go to Auckland

Peak Season:

November through March make up the peak season in Auckland. December and early January tend to be a bit damp, calling crowds into some of the fabulous indoor entertainments like bar hopping and chatting over a coffee in one of the cafes. However from late January to March, tourists are brought back to the outdoors by the beautifully warm temperatures.

Shoulder Season:

April and October make up the shoulder season in this exciting city. Flights to Auckland are generally inexpensive during these months, as the area can be a bit rainy. Despite the rain, the climate is generally mild and pleasant, making this destination superb if all you want is a bit of peace and quiet.

Off Season:

From May to September, tourism declines in Auckland due to the distinct increase of rain. For those who do not mind a bit of moisture in the air, these months are a good time to visit as you get a little more leg room to explore some of the interesting indoor activities, like the planetarium and observatory, the Victoria Park Market or the Devonport seaside village.

How to survive the flight to Auckland?
We’ve pulled together all the info you need to make your flight as enjoyable as possible. Follow our insider tips and you’ll be zooming through airport security and discovering Auckland in no time at all.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • First things first, pack in your passport, travel documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you’ll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a laptop crammed with your favourite movies are good options. If you intend to catch up on some sleep, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you step off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and matches, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort really should be your highest priority when selecting what to wear on board. Consider your footwear choice with care too, as swollen feet and ankles are a common occurrence. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are your best bet.
  • The serious condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation. Doing regular leg and foot exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this from occurring. Wearing a quality pair of compression tights or socks also helps reduce the risk.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Auckland?
The secret is to be prepared before you arrive at the security gate. That way, you’ll be hopping onto that plane to Auckland in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

  • Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be inspected by security personnel. Keep them handy to avoid fumbling around for them.
  • Next up, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Items such as your jacket, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
  • Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. No need to worry though, you’ll be back online in no time.
  • Travelling with a new cologne or perfume? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it’s stored in a zip-lock bag, it’s OK to bring with you in your carry-on baggage.
  • Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you’re less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
  • Airlines won’t allow any sharp objects in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
