Connection time in Melbourne, connecting international to domestic?
I'm flying Air NZ CHC-MEL, arriving 17.25
My MEL-LST flight is scheduled to leave at 19.55
Would you consider that enough time to connect (I'm a dual Swedish/U.S. citizen, so no AUS/NZ fast track though immigration), or should I take the MEL-LST flight early next morning instead?

by LST do you mean Launceston?
If so - it might be pushing it abit - however transferring at MEL is dead simple, you dont need to go out. If the MEL-LST is a Jetstar - get the one in the morning as they are picky re shut off of check in.

Thanks for the advice.
Yes, LST = Launceston.
I was thinking of doing the evening flight on Virgin Blue but I'll probably go for the Jetstar flight the next morning.

DJ evening flight - IF you check in online before you leave NZ you should actually be ok, as you would just have to drop your bags (but then I'm normally doing the schelp from LON to HBA with a huge 4 hour wait).
