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.
International arrivals for today https://www.auckland-airport.net/akl...-international
06:00 NZ5 LAX
06:00 NZ7 SFO
06:05 NZ174 PER
06:15 NZ23 YVR
06:40 NZ288 PVG
06:45 NZ29 IAH
07:70 NZ1 JFK
07:45 AA35 DFW
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?
