However, you are right. It did very little for me. I had to claim bags at AKL and was not able to drop off the bags until I get to the domestic terminal.
Did you try to checkin / bag drop at Air NZ area at the international terminal, instead of the domestic terminal? If enough time can usally can do at the international terminal.
