ANZICS 2018
 
GENERAL INFORMATION

AUCKLAND AIRPORT

Auckland Airport is about a 40 minutes drive to Auckland City, with easy public transport available from the airport terminals. Please allow for extra travel time in peak hours. The average taxi fare from the airport to Auckland CBD is NZ$85 depending on traffic. Airport shuttle services are available and car rental may be arranged via the links on this page.

Agricultural Restrictions and Quarantine

New Zealand's agricultural industries are free of many insect pests and plant and animal diseases common elsewhere in the world. We put a lot of effort at ports and airports into minimising the risk of these being introduced. Heavy fines may be imposed on people caught carrying prohibited materials. On arrival visitors should place any questionable items, particularly fruit, in the bins provided at the airport. Please refer to http://biosecurity.govt.nz for more information.

For international passengers, we suggest that you try to allow yourself at least a day in which to adjust to the time difference and relax after your flight, before the Meeting commences. Travellers flying westward across the Pacific Ocean are reminded that they will lose a day by crossing the International Date Line. The ‘lost day’ will be returned on the return journey. To obtain the best rates for domestic air travel, it is essential to book airfares as soon as possible.

Car Parking

There is limited parking on the Wharf in front of the Hilton Hotel. It is metered parking run by Wilson Parking. See http://www.wilsonparking.co.nz/park/254_Princes-Wharf-Behind-barrier-arm_Quay-Street-Auckland for parking options and prices. Alternatively the Hilton offers valet parking at $45 per day.
