Changing domestic connecting flight (DOM-INTL) - wisdom sought
Kia ora! Have searched, but haven't located any wisdom on outbound vs. inbound flights.
Flying WLG-AKL-IAH next month, and have been booked on NZ444 ex WLG (1645-1750), connecting to NZ28 departing at 1930. No opportunity to select another WLG-AKL flight at the time of booking on the Air NZ website.
What are the chances of asking for an earlier departure ex WLG at the airport, on the day of departure (subject to availability, of course).
Booked and paid Premium Economy, in case that is of relevance.
Thanks in advance!
