Indeed. I was in NZ last year and in order to do a Doubtful Sound cruise, left myself a drive from Te Anau to CHC in one of those bright green campervans that have little or no torque. Beautiful drive past the Mount Cook range and Lake Pukaki, but not one for speed. I was pretty tired when I dropped off teh camper van and headed to the Airport Novotel at CHC

True, but CHC has non stop flights to AU and more flights to AKL
A map from the Great Circle Mapper - Great Circle Mapper

From ZQN airport site flights this morning (09 May) look to be on time, with no cancellations
And good weather, albeit a little brisk. https://www.metservice.com/towns-cit...ons/queenstown
