AKL early morning departure timing - QF152 6am

[goldenhorn]

Quick one for those familiar with AKL - As part of a status run, I'm on QF152 AKL to MEL Sunday morning (6am departure) and staying at the Pullman Auckland Airport right across from the terminal.

Hoping to hit the Qantas J lounge when it opens at 5am for a quick brekkie/coffee before boarding. Flying J, but I'm not that familiar with AKL and don't know if they have priority lanes.

What time would you be leaving the hotel? I'm thinking 4:15-4:30 am but not sure if that's cutting it too fine or being overly cautious for an early Sunday morning. No luggage to check.

Cheers

Yes there is priority security and passport control.

Anecdotal experience that immigration and security at AKL opens around 4.30am, so I wouldn't really get there much earlier unless you need to drop luggage or print BP.

OK thanks. No luggage so can go straight through security.
