I took a flight from Sydney Australia to Wellington.

Airport passport and custom check is easy and quick if you like me don't have anything to declare

My flight arrived late in the night and I got a hotel room near the airport, from Airport to the hotel I took the airport shuttle.

The next day I moved to a hostel in the city.
