The domestic and international sections are connected by a single indoor concourse (the 'Orchard Road' retail spine), so no shuttle or train is needed. Passengers arriving internationally must clear NZ Customs and Biosecurity before reaching the domestic side, while domestic-to-international passengers pass through a dedicated security screening point before entering the international departures zone.

Air New Zealand's transfer desk in the domestic/international connection area can rebook missed connections on the spot, as most flights through CHC are on Air New Zealand's own network; other airlines' passengers should seek assistance at the international transfer desk near arrivals.
