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?

I flew domestic from Wellington this morning and was still required to take out laptops - though this was Jetstar.
Weird. I had my laptop out and the AvSec lady said “ you don’t need to do that anymore “
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.
