Status run to Auckland

[mckinj02]

I’m doing a status from Sydney to Auckland and return on the same day. Will there be any issues at immigration in New Zealand. I only have five hours between landing and my flight back to Sydney on the same day.

Is there even anywhere to stay airside when arriving in AKL?

I've sat in the international terminal landside from midnight to 4am several times and it wasn't that bad, just noisy as hundreds or even thousands of people seemed to have the same idea.

Pre COVID, I had an onward BP and was able to use transit security. I have had no similar transits since.

Will be trying it again next month.
