Think of a gate opening (entry) and closing (exit). A gateway city allows you to go **directly / non stop** into a new country or out of a country, through an international airport or seaport.
 * __Gateway Cities__**

[|Gateway Cities] **Verify the airports 'Gateway' status by clicking on the links to find out which airlines use these airports and where you can travel to and from** [|List of airports in New Zealand] A map of airport locations is displayed at bottom of this page

Select a one way flight. Enter the departing city and a destination. Then select a date withing 6 months of the current date. Look under the duration column for number of stops or non stop. Change the days of the week by using previous and next options to verify completely.
 * NOTE: I would not class Rotorua or Palmerston North as a Gateway city. T****hese are not direct flights** **as you need to fly out of Auckland or Wellington to exit NZ**
 * [|House of Travel]** is a really good website to check out direct non stop flights. At the very least, most international departures from NZ are to Australia.
