Flight Review - Air New Zealand A320 Queenstown (ZQN) to Wellington (WLG) NZ642/ZK-OXE - Trip Report

[@kiwiflyernz]

I’m stupidly sick at the moment but this video has given me laughs and happiness in general, feeling a bit better after that. Have a great night Gerard😊

[@SupersonicKiwi]

Oh no, I hope you get better soon! But I’m glad I could make your illness a little bit more bearable.

[@rodsloan3810]

Dude….my wife has tonight declared that you are her favourite aviation KZbinr. That’s huge ups to you given we also enjoy Paul Stewart, Jeb Brooks, and Dennis Bunnik. Keep those videos coming !!!!!!

[@SupersonicKiwi]

Whaaaattt???? Wow, that's very high praise, thanks! All I need now is places I can fly to...

[@beast_337]

Great like always

[@SupersonicKiwi]

Thank you so much 😀

[@ShawnsTravels]

Excellent editing and composition. Crazy how many loops you had to go through regarding your ticket. Looking forward to future videos. Subbed!

[@SupersonicKiwi]

Thank you so much, that's incredibly kind of you. Yeah, everything was crazy for a while there. Recently Air New Zealand relaxed a pile of their rules and started letting passengers move their flights around more easily, now if they restrict or cancel they let you pick the replacement flights - it's so much easier, and has probably reduced a lot of call volume into their call centre. Just checked out your channel (and subbed back), you have some excellent view numbers. That's super impressive - well done!

[@Buttachopper]

Awesome trip report!!!! this channel is really underrated

[@SupersonicKiwi]

Thanks so much, that's very kind of you! I enjoy making these and it all seems worthwhile when someone else enjoys watching them.

[@GenkisTravels]

Awesome trip report. Loved the approach into Wellington

[@SupersonicKiwi]

[@SupersonicKiwi]

Awesome! I have 400 subscribers??!!? That's pretty intense - 400 other humans are as interested in my flights as I am. Thanks for watching!

[@Coop.de.ville.]

Nice video mate loved the landing in Wellington brings back a lot of memories where I grew up. Thanks again.

[@SupersonicKiwi]

Thank you! I really love flying in from the north - I always sit on the right so I'll get to see out over the city on the way in, but more often I see red rocks and the terminal building as we approach from the south. I'm so pleased you liked it.

[@zf5167]

great video! critical for de-icing to be performed correctly

[@SupersonicKiwi]

Absolutely. Having said that, it did create streaks on the window that made my footage a bit less awesome. I mean, I totally don't want to crash, but my view!

[@kasundananjaya9316]

Nice 👍

[@SupersonicKiwi]

Thanks!

[@brian402]

And to this day in 2024, Air New Zealand still holds the record for nearly aways running late

[@SupersonicKiwi]

But on the flip side they’re more likely to wait for you!

[@Miftahjaya96]

awesome video

[@SupersonicKiwi]

Thank you so much!

[@Miftahjaya96]

@@SupersonicKiwi goodluck for you friend

[@grantsprout7109]

Wow would love to do that dawn trip....

[@SupersonicKiwi]

The sunrise was quite beautiful, but the early start was a bit brutal!

[@marcuskan1080]

Nice video. How'd you get the orange Priority tags for this flight? I thought domestic Priority is printed on the tag itself?

[@SupersonicKiwi]

Well spotted! It's printed when they come out of a kiosk, but if a human at a counter checks you in they still put the orange tags in (I'm not sure if it's on the printed tag or not, and I'm unconvinced that it gets them onto the carousel any sooner on a domestic).

[@jasontoi8628]

Aww you made the plane late!

[@SupersonicKiwi]

Oh no! I hadn’t put that together…. Ha ha ha, I’m still going to externalise the blame and double down that it was due to the de-icing!

[@brentsummers7377]

Nice review! Those strange months when we were told masks were not useful & not needed🤣🤣

[@SupersonicKiwi]

Thanks! It was an unusual time, the rules were constantly changing, but at least we got to travel a bit. Thanks for watching!

[@bigrobbo75]

awesome clip , great channel , consider me subscribed

[@SupersonicKiwi]

Thanks! There’s more on the way, but in the meantime feel free to watch the back catalogue, haha!!
