Dunedin

What a pleasant experience you show up at the airport. Very friendly people, Air New Zealand or Jetstar. We checked our bags. The airport has regular couches. You can relax on beautiful seating. They actually have a chef at the restaurant. It's quite nice they have a game room for kids. They have really everything to make you comfortable at the airport. I wish more US airports were like this place.

Arrived one morning here. It was an autumn entrance. Dunedin Airport is uniquely situated near the shoreline, offering impressive views of the surrounding landscape. As you approach the runway, the sight of hills and meadows encircling the airport creates a peaceful and striking atmosphere—whether you’re landing or taking off, the scenery adds a special touch to the journey. Though small, the airport is modern and well-equipped, making it a convenient spot for both departing and arriving visitors. The layout is easy to navigate, ensuring a smooth experience from check-in to boarding. There’s plenty of parking available, and the access to both the departure and arrival halls is straightforward, adding to the overall ease of travel.

Can't be compared to the big 3,but as a regional airport it's right up there. When I arrived here everything was winding down for the last flight out. But all staff were pleasant and helpful, parking and ease of use made it a breeze 😉.

Air New Zealand lounge is fabulous! The airport is slick, modern with a few cafes My main moan would constantly being publically patted down every time my bra pings the xray machine. Every time - shoes off, cardigans off, jacket off, scarf off which basically leaves me wearing a tiny dress, bra and panties. Its cold, I feel exposed publically and then I get a public pat down of my breast area and my tummy. It's humiliation at its finest and the staff member that told me to " smile" while in the body scanner needs to work on his professionalism and his kindness. He would be mortified if someone treated his mother or his daughter like that! It's not funny and it's not necessary and it smacks of sexism. Staff on security are never very friendly- it’s not a super pleasant experience. The team really need to take a long hard look at their communication skills and polish them up.

Not the greatest if picking up someone from plane. You now need to park in the parking lot and hope their plane lands on time and the baggage belt flows, because you only get 15 min free parking . 1/2 hour would be more reasonable. Or just wait somewhere on the side of the road and arrive at parking lot and aim to pick up 10min after plane lands. So- dont go into parking lot u til then. Hopefully then the 15min may be enough time to pick up for free.

Dunedin Airport – Small, clean, and easy to navigate I’ve only used Dunedin Airport for domestic flights, and it’s always been a smooth experience. The airport is small and very manageable, with short walking distances and a calm atmosphere. It’s clean and well-organised, with friendly staff and quick check-ins. International arrivals are rare, so don’t expect the services or size of a major hub – but for domestic travel, it works perfectly. A practical and stress-free starting or ending point for exploring the South Island.

No coffee or snacks are available after you pass through security until 10mins before your flight boards. Then it’s a huge rush and chaos to try and assist everyone waiting. They don’t even have a vending machine. This is definitely not a modern first world airport.

Great airport, security was friendly last trip which was good. Interesting patterns on sea off the coast soon after take off. Rental cars booths out side main terminal

The Dunedin International Airport is a nice little airport that is currently undergoing a significant expansion and renovation. It is easy to get in and out of. The seating areas at the gates are a bit two right but that is because much of the area is currently under renovation. I will be back next year and look forward to seeing the completed project.
