Connecting to domestic flight in Auckland (AKL), do I have to re-check-in my luggage?

score:5

Yes, you need to collect and re-check. I've done this many times at Auckland.

The reason is immigration and customs is only at the Auckland international terminal. NZ has strict controls on luggage - and will xray and scan them for food, wood, and many other restricted items. You need to be with your luggage when this happens. If they checked it through for your domestic flight, then it wouldn't go through customs.

Once you're through with your luggage into actual NZ, it's actually about a 1.2km (from memory) walk, or a free shuttle ride to the domestic terminal, where you'll get your flight to Queenstown.

When flying to Queenstown, if you can, I recommend the left side of the plane - the view is spectacular.
