While it can be hard to leave Wellington, New Zealand, can be difficult, airport officials want travelers to limit their goodbyes.

According to the Associated Press, the airport has implemented a three-minute “cuddle cap.” “Max hug time three minutes,” signs read.

Instead, travelers should relegate longer goodbyes to a nearby parking lot.

While other airports worldwide have sought to limit how long drop-offs take using fines and other punitive measures, New Zealand has opted for a friendlier approach in typical Kiwi fashion.
