I know, In my own experience (not really much but maybe 10 visits to NZ in the past 20yrs) the customs have become sooo much Quicker iver the years. As a teenager late 90s I had my bags litterally excavated. But last year arriving twice, one midnight arrival from SIN and a early afternoon arrival from SYD customs was a breeze. Yes , x-rayed bags but nearly no Lines.

I do understand that a 9.30 intl arrival is probably the worst hand you can be dealt as it means you are dead last in of many longhaul morning Arrivals carrying numerous Pax.

Im a bit curious what is the longest any of you have ever waited in lind in customs at AKL ?
