Thank´s for your replies!

Seems I´ll be staying at the Holiday Inn for my one-night stay.

I´ll be arriving late at night from RAR, so I was just wondering how much would a taxi cost to the HI in case there´s no shuttle bus around?

Just two more questions with regards to AKL:

1) I´m flying SYD-AKL-RAR. Do I need to collect my luggage / go through customs/immigration at AKL? I´m planning to have a 2:30 connection with two seperate tickets (both on NZ), this should be sufficient, shouldn´t it?

2) On the way back I´ll be flying RAR-AKL(overnight)-CHC. Arriving 60min before departure at AKL for my domestic hop is fine, isn´t it? (*G status, travelling with luggage)

Thank´s a lot!
