Driving Directions
From Local Areas to the Auckland Airport
Auckland Airport is 21 km (13 miles) south of the city behind Manukau Harbour. The journey to/from the central business district takes around 45 minutes. To get to Auckland Airport, from the city, drivers should take the southern motorway until the Gilles Avenue exit and then follow the airport signs or aircraft arrows.
In Auckland city itself, the main street is Queen Street, which ends in Queen Elizabeth Square at Customs Street. Quay Street runs along the Waitemata Harbour front. At the top end of Queen Street is Karangahape Road - usually called "K" Road" - and is 1 1/4 miles from Quay Street. Within that area you'll find most of the city's shops, restaurants, nightspots, major hotels, and bus, rail, and air terminals.
