Auckland International Airport is New Zealand’s primary gateway, providing a friendly and well-organised start to your journey as a key transport hub in the Pacific region. You will find excellent transport options for reaching the airport. Regular public buses, including Airbus and Maxx services, run frequently from central Auckland and connect to other locations. Shuttle buses are available from many large hotels, and taxi ranks are conveniently located near the International terminal building. If you are driving, plentiful parking is available, offering short-term, long-term, undercover and valet options.
When flying internationally, you will depart from the International Terminal’s upper level. Allow approximately two hours before boarding to complete check-in and security checks, as procedures can be tight. The airport offers superb facilities and amenities to enhance your wait. You can explore over 100 on-site shops and choose from numerous food and drink outlets, including premium Asian cuisine, or grab a quick snack or coffee. Business travellers have access to two large conference rooms, while First and Business Class passengers can relax in spacious VIP lounges. Make sure to utilize the unique shopping collection point before you fly out, where you can pick up goods purchased elsewhere in New Zealand.
Sialkot, based in Pakistan's industrious Punjab province, is known as a major export-oriented city. It's globally renowned as a manufacturing powerhouse for world-class surgical instruments, leather goods and, most notably, over 70 per cent of the world's footballs. You'll feel the energetic, entrepreneurial spirit as you explore this commercial hub.
The city is also deeply rooted in history. Discover its rich heritage by visiting the ruins of Sialkot Fort, one of Pakistan's oldest fortresses, built in the 2nd century AD. As you roam around the city centre, marvel at the historic 19th-century Clock Tower, a prominent landmark in Iqbal Square. Sialkot's cultural heart is Iqbal Manzil, the preserved birthplace and former home of the great national poet and philosopher, Allama Iqbal. This location is now a fascinating museum and library dedicated to his legacy, where you can admire his renowned works.
