“ Do you think I have enough time to check in? ”

I will be arriving Coolangatta airport by Air AsiaX from KUL at 7.25am. Assuming there is no delay, do I have enough time to check out my luggage and check in a connecting flight to Auckland on a 9.55am flight with Pacific Blue on the same day. I have not book this sector unless I am pretty sure I can make it. Normal check in is 2 hours before departure.

Is the Pacific Blue check in counter a long way Customs clearance check point? Any info give would be grateful. Thanks in advance.

for Brisbane, Noosa

Gold Coast airport is quite small so no problem with check in counters but what if your plane arrives late???

Simply .....No.

Too risky.

Possible if you were connecting with the same airline and could get your baggage check through from KL to Auckland.

How long would it take to get through Coolangatta Customs? Here in Perth I'd recommend allowing at least an hour to collect baggage and get through Customs. You might get lucky and get through quicker but you couldn't count on it.
