Checked AirAsia flight arrival at Auckland airport 4:25pm. Is it possible to clear custom and catch flight from Auckland to Christchurch on the same day instead of the next following day? Same day 6:30pm flight from Auckland to CHC ?

thanks ya smile.gif

To those who taking AA flight to Auckland after End of October, just realised the departure time has postponed , so do the arrival time has postponed to 5:55pm.
So I think it's risky to book Auckland to CHC now if there's any further delay on flight time 🙁

Should be able to catch the latest flight to CHC. Allow 2 hours in between, so say 7.30pm flight, you should be safe.

I think this is really tiring for you. The distance between each places in NZ is quite far hence you might spend few hours driving. I've note down some of my comments on top. Hope it helps.

You cannot go pass 100km/h, and with campervan, prolly you will be driving 80km/h - 90km/h which will considerably extend the driving times.

Thanks @doinkz_gaara
How to judge if the rented campervan can survive the drive from Queenstown/Te Anau to Milford Sound?

Revised version. Removed Dunedin and Oamaru.
Day 3 : Helihike if day 2 tak jadi, Haast Pass, Lake Hawea, Lake Wanaka (Overnight Lake Wanaka)
Day 4 : Wanaka skydive (Overnight Lake Wanaka)
Day 5 : Crown Range Road, Arrowtown, Queenstown, Winery, Skyline , Fergburger (Overnight Queenstown)
Day 6 : Te Anau Wildlife Bird Reserve, Lake Manapouri, Glowworm Cave (Overnight Te Anau)
- How to check whether the rented campervan can survive along the road there? We are renting Kuga automatic transmission, year 2009-2014

Day 7 : Milford Sound Cruise (Should overnight Te Anau or Queenstown ? confused.gif )
Day 8 : Queenstown (Should overnight at Queenstown or Omarama ? confused.gif )
Day 9 : Lake Pukaki, Alpine Salmon, Tasman Glacier, Mt. Cook , Kea Point Track (Overnight Lake Pukaki)
Day 10 : Mt Cook (Overnight Mt Cook)
Day 11 : Mt John, Church of good shepherd, Lake Tekapo (Overnight at Lake Tekapo)
Day 12 : Christchurch town return campervan at 3pm (Overnight at Christchurch town)
Day 13 : Christchurch town tour, take flight to Auckland and collect car at 4pm (Overnight at Auckland town)
Day 14 : Auckland fish market, Hamilton Garden, Waitomo Glowworm Cave, Lake Taupo (Overnight at Lake Taupo)
Day 15 : Lady Knox Geyser, Rainbow Spring Nature Park Rotorua, return car at 4pm at Auckland airport (sleep in plane) - to be revisit rclxub.gif
