AKL arrivals and departures have been seperate for some year.

The OP would have had to proceed through transit security from arrivals to departures, hit the lounge and then proceed back through to arrivals somehow.

The video shown on flights into NZ is loud and obtrusive and it interrupts normal in-flight entertainment. It's shown on screen at each seat and on the large screen at the front of each section of the plane. You'd have to be deaf, blind, daft, or heedless not to notice it. ...
In recent times, with the advent of AVOD, the viewing of this video can be optional.
