Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Excellent! This may now be known as the Airport Express (blue) bus. Fare very reasonable $9 for 2 people from Airport to Lambton Quay. I think this may be temporarily a post-Covid offer. The bus stops it uses in CBD are marked up with a blue aircraft symbol. Female driver was very smiley and helpful. Didn't have to wait for bus either end, they were just there.

On the website the service is described as value for money. £9 for a twenty minute journey as value for money. That’s the most I’ve ever paid for a 20 minute bus journey. I’d suggest Uber if there is more than 1 person in your group. Service is ok otherwise.

Located at the arrivals area outside the airport in the carpark. If your going to lambton quay, this is the best form of transport. Very cheap and easy. Bus driver was happyful. Make sure you have cash, as you can’t use a card.

My family and I recently experienced the worst case of customer service ever encountered whilst using the services of the Airport Flyer.
The driver was so rude and unprofessional. Not just to us but many other passengers onboard.
I can not recommend highly enough using other means of transportation to and from Wellington Airport. The airport shuttle which is door to door is $10. $2 cheaper than the Airport Flyer and much superior service and enjoyable experience.
Taxis and Uber are also very moderately priced depending on time of day and number of passengers.
This driver really ruined our day after the most wonderful surprise family weekend visit to Wellington for our mothers birthday.
I truly would not wish anybody else to encounter and experience this type of treatment by a driver when there are many alternative ways to travel from the airport.

The Airport Flyer with modern, clean, buses is an excellent and fast way to the CBD or on to the Hutt Valley. The fare is NZ $12.00. However, beware, they do not accept any credit cards- only NZ cash. This could be troublesome for arriving international passengers without NZ currency. I was quite sternly treated by the driver who was not prepared to wait while I accessed some NZ $ in my carry on. It took all of one minute during which time he told me he was running 4 minutes late and ordered me off the bus! He then asked where I wanted to get off the bus. I told him the Wellington CBD but he insisted on an actual location. Again international travelers should ensure in advance the exact stop they need. A great service but an unerving experience arriving in the Capital City of NZ.

Took airporter from outside our hotel to the airport. As we are pensioners our gold card entitled us to free transport on this service.

Very good service, used from airport and back to airport. Driver to airport assisted passengers with luggage which was unexpected and helpful.

It was in a reasonable price and good comfort few years ago before change to the current company
The price increase from 10 to 18 per person from Lower Hutt to airport, with no aircon, no screen of travel information.
Recommend NOT to use it unless you have to. Better use UBER

The service used to be ok but for the past few months it’s been very poor. You can only pay on the bus now. People standing from back to front of the bus. Bags overflowing. Drivers have no idea when the next bus might be so they pack passengers on

Need to catch Flyer to Airport from Wgtn Rail Station. Where does it go from?
Written 2 August 2019
Hello AGain,
I have just checked for you and the bus does stop at the Railway station. The stops are orange and any of the bus staff will be able to help you. It goes every 10 minutes on weekdays. I hope this is helpful.
