It hasn't been the best morning for travellers trying to fly into or out of Auckland - or for commuters trying to get around the city.

It was a bit of a pea-souper across the City of Sails, and although the thick fog has largely lifted - there's been a knock-on effect for flights to the regions.

Ferries have also been affected. And to top it off a glitch has seen Auckland Transport's journey planner down for much of the morning. Kathryn gets an update from Auckland-based reporter Rayssa Almeida.
