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.

Ah that will be it, I’m only ever flying to the regional ones.

Weird. I had my laptop out and the AvSec lady said “ you don’t need to do that anymore “

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
