We ended up having plenty of time for our trek from the domestic to international terminal at the Auckland airport. Passport control and security are so quick here. We picked up some gin at duty free that we had tried the night before, knowing we would need to find a way to squeeze it into our checked bags once we got to Hawaii. Our flight was a little delayed, but that just gave us some time to change into some warmer comfy plane clothes. They fed us dinner (beef brisket and mac and cheese) not too long after we took off, making for a weird midnight meal time, but definitely appreciated since we never had really gotten a chance to find food in the airport. I actually succeeded in sleeping for most of the rest of the flight before they served us breakfast. We had a quick passport control/customs experience and then dropped our bags for storage during our Pearl Harbor excursion.Read more
