Airport arrivals and departures
A number of people do not like travelling alone. So on this page you can put your flight arrival and departure details and possibly meet up with some people.
To help coordinate meeting up with people arriving at the airport and departing again please list your flight details here.
Please keep the list of flights in order of date/time of arrival or departure as appropriate for each list, and just add your name to the list if your flight is already listed.
The time listed before the flight number is for Arriving or Departing Christchurch.
Public transport and travel to and from Christchurch airport shows some options for local travel to and from the airport.
