If it is international to international and luggage is not through checked then immigration (smart gate is quick but doesn't always work), then collect bags (may have to wait for these to arrive) and go through customs (generally short wait but can be longish at busy times). Then to check in for onward flight, but by the time get there it will likely be closed for check in.
If it is international to domestic and no checked bags then as above but also change terminals (10 minute walk away or transfer bus), check in and clear security.
If it is international to domestic and checked bags then no chance of making domestic check in deadline (redeposit bags).
Fully agree.
Although, intl to dom even with no baggage will be quite tight. All it takes is a little bit of a queue in customs/maf and then you're buggered.
If OP gets in on NZ776 at 2035, it will be a bit better I assume as I don't believe there are that many flights arriving, afaik. The 1830 arrival I would say would be pushing it.
