I was surprised at how cheap the internal flights were in NZ. We did
the hop from Christchurch to Palmerston North and it was only about
$60 with the leg room and baggage upgrade. (prebooked on the net)
There was also zero security at the airport. You print your luggage
tag and ticket, tag your own bag and put it on the belt.
We didn't see a metal detector until we boarded the plane to LAX.

We flew Auckland to Queenstown, but that was a flight after arriving from
Tahiti. The thing that got me was the maximum of 10 kilos on a carry on
bag.

They never questioned us and I bet "monster" my wife's backpack was
more like 15k and bigger than the limit. We checked it to LAX. (3 bags
each on the ticket we had there).
