Hmmm. I don't doubt that the NZ Lounge at AKL might be nice, but after 24 hours flying (FRA-BKK-AKL) I'd prefer to do something else than sitting in a lounge.

How long needs the bus to Auckland's city center?

Is it doable to take that bus and to go right back to AKL with the next one, just to get a first impression of Auckland?

Thx, Martin
