Travelling with kids doesn't have to be stressful. We've got the support, facilities and services to make your time at Auckland Airport with your family straightforward.

Powders, liquids, aerosols and gels (like baby formula, milk, water, medicines and creams) have specific rules. Check the aviation security website for what's allowed when travelling with young children.

Stroller policies vary by airline, so confirm with yours before you arrive. Most airlines allow you to gate-check strollers at the departure gate—no need to check it with your bags.

We have well-equipped parent rooms across both terminals with changing tables, feeding chairs, microwaves and bathrooms. Most also have a quiet play area if the kids need to move around.

Tips for getting through AKL with kids

Take your time

There's no need to rush. Arrive early and use the parent rooms before you head to your gate. Our staff are always happy to point you in the right direction if you're unsure.

Water stations

Kids get thirsty! We've got water fountains available throughout both terminals where you can refill bottles once you've cleared security.

Quiet spaces

If you need a break from the crowds, our parent rooms are designed to be calm and comfortable for families.
