I flew out though Wellington last week, and was told I could keep my laptop in my bag, no doubt due to the new CT scanners.
I know Auckland has these at the International terminal, but have they reached domestic yet? where else in the country?

So after traveling this week, yes I had to take out the laptop leaving Auckland, but leaving Christchurch they wanted laptops in your bag and had signs up to that effect.
I flew domestic from Wellington this morning and was still required to take out laptops - though this was Jetstar.
I haven’t flown domestic from Wellington since last year, when I did it a few times, and I don’t recall ever going through anything resembling security (except checked bags). I recall someone talking about upcoming changes, do they do security checks/bag scanning for domestic now?
The three cities that I fly though a lot ( Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch) always have full screening to each other. No screening flying to regional airports though.
Not NZ but Aus we have them in the Darwin airport, they’re amazing.
However Qantas Q tags can’t be used here anymore. No idea what’s happening there haha
