No, this will entail additional charges. If weight goes above 23 kg in any one check in bag, it is charged for. Anyways, the weight of a single check in bag shall not be more than 32 kg. So, we do not suggest increasing weight of one check in bag to more than 23 kg.

Oversized and bulky check in baggage would cost about AUD 200, if flying from Australia. You must also confirm this with the airline local office. You have not mentioned the place of origin of flight.

You have not mentioned the route of travel. However, carrying Poster tube in carry on shall not be a problem if it fits the overhead cabin. However, we would suggest you to inform the airline about its carriage well in advance of travel.

Ski bag shall be taken as a part of free check in baggage allowance. So, if you already have check in baggage, this can be taken on payment of charges.

You can buy additional baggage at airport for NZ 130. Pre-purchase online is not allowed when flying to Cocos Islands. However, if the airplane being used in the flight which has operational constraints, the airline might again mention that this is not allowed. So, please check the Auckland office of the airline once.
