International connection time at AKL

[FlyingProf]

I live in Sydney and I have to go for a short visit to Rome next month. If I use QF from SYD it wil cost me A$9,200 in J AND I'll have to go via the zoo that they persist in calling an airport, i.e. LHR. If I use CX SYD-FCO it's A$8,100 and I miss out LHR. However, by going AKL-FCO on CX the price comes down to the equivalent of A$5,800 plus A$205 to get to AKL and NZ$198 to get back to SYD, a total of around A$6,100. I have plenty of time for the extra SYD-AKL return so it's a no brainer.

OK, that's the background. The real questions are:

QF141 arrives AKL at 11.25 and CX108 departs at 13.20. Is this a legal connection time? I'll have hand luggage only and I know how compact AKL is having travelled through it twice a month until recently.

When I check in at SYD, will QF be able to issue a boarding pass for the CX sector to HKG? It would make life much easier if they can. Alternatively, does anyone know if CX does OLCI?

TIA for any help.

CX OLCI opens at T-48. You can print your boarding pass too i'm pretty sure.

Thanks for that. I'll give it a try.
