We were in a similar situation...didn't want to take the last flight into Auckland and run the risk of missing our flight back to the States...so we wound up with several hours to kill. <BR> <BR>We notified the airline that we were at the airport, checked our luggage, and hired a car and driver to run us around Auckland for a couple of hours and show us the sight( limited of course) ...killed time,,,and gave us a feel of Auckland.

If you only have 4 hours to spare I really don't think that's enough time to see much in Auckland and some were suggesting. I had a similiar situation where I was stuck waiting. I must say if you were to be stuck in any airport in the world for a period, it's definitely nice. I think it has a movie theater if I am not mistaken.

Four hours is certainly not enough time to consider the on/off bus - firstly you have to get into the City and then back to the airport allowing sufficient time to board your plane. The "theatre" at the airport is airside and shows mainly CNN programmes. If you don't like the channel you can go to the Collection Point and they will change channels for you. There are quite a few shops airside and a couple of cafes and bar. If you are lucky enough to be travelling business or first class there are airline lounges and also a lounge for Diners Club members. I think with just 4 hours you have no option than to stay put at the airport. Have fun.

Val,<BR><BR>I agree with you that 4 hours isn't enough time to take an o/off tourist bus.<BR><BR>Since my wife and I did it, I know it's enough time to have private driver give you a quick feel of the area.<BR><BR>We used a car and driver, recommended to us by the airline, to give us a quick (about 2 to 2.5 hours).<BR><BR>Definitely thought it was better than hanging around the airport.<BR><BR>
