This is my first post so hopefully am in the right place...
We are flying to Auckland on Qantas and then flying from Auckland to Dubai on Emirates. Both are reward flights using Qantas FF points
As they are different airlines, do we need to clear customs when we arrive at Auckland and then check in at Emirates?
The Qantas flight is Business and Emirates is First
Thanks in advance for your help
 
G'day and welcome to AFF!

Are these flights booked on separate tickets, or is it all on one booking?

If it's all on the same PNR, you won't need to clear customs etc. in Auckland and you should receive both boarding passes when you check-in in Australia.

Unfortunately on separate tickets so I guess we have to clear customs then?

More than likely, yes.

You could ask when you check in with Qantas, and they may do it. In fact, I think I read somewhere that it is Qantas policy to through-check onto Emirates. But when my parents did something similar earlier this year, they had to pick up their luggage and clear immigration etc. at the intermediate stop.
 
Qantas should provide you with both boarding passes and through-check your bags to your final destination - you will likely need to specifically ask at check-in for this.

Qantas' policy is that QF-QF and QF-EK can be through-checked even if on separate PNRs. The same does not apply to oneworld connections.

See the table at the bottom here: Interline and Through Checked Baggage
