Auckland transit
I power walked to immigration leaving the other passengers in my wake. Smartgate didn't take very long, and nor did customs as I was directed to bypass the x-rays. It was raining lightly so I took the bus across to domestic terminal instead of my usual walk over.
Surprisingly security was open to the usual weekday schedule despite being a public holiday. I entered the lounge using boarding pass scan instead of e-pass since my Air NZ FF number isn't associated with this ticket. Success - I made it before the showers were taken so could freshen up before my flight.
I'd deliberately booked the second flight from Auckland so I'd have time for a shower even if the trans-Pacific flight is slightly late. I also had time for some nice coffee and to check my messages before it was time to board.
