Travellers on InterCity’s direct bus service between Hamilton and Auckland Airport can now get an extra taste of comfort on the road.

Two new InterCity Gold buses are now operating on the route, offering the choice of standard seats or premium Gold seats.

The Gold seats offer large soft leather recliners with individual charge ports and power outlets.

“Travelling to the airport doesn’t have to be a stressful or unproductive thanks to our premium Gold seats” says Sam Peate, InterCity Group general manager NZ coachlines and Auckland tourism.

“With plenty of room to stretch out, power plugs and free mobile WiFi, the commute to and from the airport can now be a productive journey for business travellers”

Passengers can also take advantage of InterCity’s free luggage allowance of two pieces of up to 25kg each per person, plus carry-on.

The two brand new Scania K400 vehicles are fitted with nine InterCity Gold seats and 39 standard seats and were built locally by Kiwi Bus Builders in Tauranga.

The journey from Hamilton takes almost two hours, with stops at both terminals, before continuing on to Auckland CBD.
