I am not sure that they can't make a flight one hour after landing. It just seemed too chancy, if that is a word. I think we would need to ask a travel agent. Melodie, are you there? What do you think? If they could make it, it would solve many issues. I just thought, there is a chance the flight will be late in arriving, they have to get their luggage, clear customs, and, I thought, arrive at the gate for the second flight to Queenstown an hour or so before hand....I just assumed it was not possible..

We are beginning to work with a Kiwi Specialist, a travel agent who specializes in NZ travel. I will keep everyone posted as we start to hone in on an itinerary. We are still interested in everyone's input. We just found ourselves feeling confused. Also, the travel agent told us that our last posted itinerary needed help!
