AUCKLAND to CAIRNS (AKL-CNS) on NZ A320
Continuing on from
mini tour of NZ.
When I made the 2 separate bookings the connection was a tightish 100 minutes. The late inbound flight saw this reduced somewhat. So, I was relieved that I had been able to check in for this flight (and the turnaround return) at Palmerston North - thus eliminating the rush to make check in close off, scrambling between domestic and international terminals (of which the arrival gate was far end of domestic terminal and premium check in the far end of international terminal).
But I am getting ahead of myself.
