Luckily, Auckland didnt bat an eyelid, as we thought well, its coming with us even if we have to pay for it ----- they didnt charge us a penny!!
The flight to Napier is a very small plane, think about 40ish seats and turbulence can be an experience, but so worth it when you land just by the bay ......
Enjoy !!

After all that, didnt mention that customs is only AUckland, you just get off the plane in Napier, walk into the small terminal and the cases are not far behind you......
Good luck!
