YVR-AKL on NZ 23 arrives @ 5:45AM
Will have to book separate tix AKL-MEL-AKL.
1. AKL-MEL on NZ 8:50AM would it be safe ? No check Bags, Hold Canadian passport
2. If NZ 23 is late would NZ protect me on NZ 125 @ 12:45PM
You guidance is appreciated. Thank you
1. 05:45 to 08:50 so 3:05hr to transfer.
06:00 - 08:00 a busy time for long haul wide body arrivals. Would want to get the AKL MEL boarding pass air side, but no idea if possible. Could take some time if need to go landside and back airside.

On the day you travel flights will/may be different.
From a small sample NZ23 is late as often as early. Been cancelled a few times.

2. Will depend on fare t&c's. Generally "no". So will depend on the goodwill of staff and your credit card.

So will depend on your luck on the day. May work - may not work. What is your attitude to risk?
