Aaah... used NZ's timetables to have a check. NZ620 doesn't operate in December (darn off-season). Cripes.
That's still brutal punishment by any means.
Personally because you're flying from South South Island in NZ to make a connection which at best would give you 2 hours up your sleeve (with no chance of connecting itineraries), it's all still pretty risky. Then again, us Flyertalkers (yours truly included) are used to taking such risks!
