I would like to inquire, my flight from Shenzhen to Auckland was delayed. I was originally scheduled to arrive at 4 PM, but I bought a plane ticket to Christchurch at 8 PM. Now the delay is until 5 PM or so. Will I have time to catch the next flight ?

In theory, it should be possible to make it, and it would be better if the luggage was checked all the way through. Hainan Airlines' flights from Shenzhen to Auckland are often delayed.

Going through self-service clearance for entry should be possible. The new version of the passport is not required.

If we arrive in Auckland at around 5 o'clock, we will have enough time. It will take about half an hour to clear customs.

In general, if the delay is not too long, you should be able to make it. Did you exchange your second boarding pass? The minimum connection time is 1.5 hours, and it's best to have 2 hours.

Two hours should be enough. The main domestic flights are not in the same terminal and you need to walk a distance.

It should be fine. Generally, passing through customs is very quick, and then you can take the free shuttle bus to the domestic flight airport, which takes about 15 minutes. You should arrive at the domestic flight one hour in advance. Hainan Airlines' flights are often delayed. Last time, we were delayed for three hours and had to change our flight.
