Outbound: Your bags will be checked through and you won't need to collect bags in AKL.
Thanks for the info. The domestic bag drop in the international checkin area sounds very useful.
I will be travelling in J and arriving at AKL at about 6:30am. Don't really want breakfast on the plane at that time, so is there some sort of arrivals lounge I can use. The internet suggests there is, but details are a bit thin.
