A Visit To New Zealand Is On Budget List.Great Work

flew this route in July, the zqn-syd leg made my trip, unreal views with lot of snow!

The colour of the sea in New Zealand is just mesmerizing!

I think any flight under 1 hour should have free water, tea and coffee. A flight between 1 and 3 hours should have free "lite" meals (sandwiches, apple, banana, cookie and a drink). Any flight over 3 hours should have free full meals every 4 hours after the first service. I think this should be an industry standard for all but low cost airlines. Paying for the IFE is just rude. The new CEO for Air NZ joined in 2020 from his position at Walmart. We all feared he would bring cost cutting measures that would ruin Air NZ reputation as a good value friendly airline. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to vent Paul.

The "Remarkable Ranges" snow covered mountains of New Zealand's South Island are indeed "remarkable" - surely the departure to the south is one of the most spectacular flights in the world. Again Informative commentary accompanied by some excellent video footage makes for a great trip report. Well done Paul!

Great I've been looking forward to this video since I saw you post on instagram. Nice views!

I took this exact flight to Sydney in early Jan... Wow!!! Spectacular

Another good review. Whenever I fly Air NZ across the Tasman i just opt for the works and get the full inclusive economy experience. The price between seat and bag and works is normally not that much especially if you end up buying a sandwich on board anyway. Again love the video, I flew out of Queenstown last year and your take off footage got me in feels.

Stunning footage here Paul. 😍 In defence of AirNZ, there is an option when you book your tickets to pay $NZD25 more per flight (trans Tasman) to get open access tv and movies as well as including the more usual food/beverage service. I guess it depends whether you feel you get $25 value from the food and movies. As you say, for a longer flight, probably, but maybe not so much for a shorter flight, especially if you can pre-load in the lounge 😆 Thank you for sharing your flight. Hard to beat that takeoff and westward turn.

Beautiful video of the departure. Looked like you climbed out at a good rate for terrain clearance with the mountains. Nice arrival at YSSY. Always enjoy your trip reports.

[majensen]

Just stunning Paul!!! The safety placard display was very artistic 😂

[frederick]

Wonderful view out of the window..

Thank you very much, Paul, for sharing your great documentary video of your flight with us. I have enjoyed each second.

Nice video, I was personally a big fan of Air NZ when I flew them both trans-Tasman and domestic last October

[francoisdutoit]

Brilliant scenery in NZ, thanks for sharing.

[AussieJetSetter]

Awesome review Paul and views of the South Island Paul, Definitely got to be one of the all time scenic airports of the world at Queenstown!

[brentsummers]

Fabulous views over the mountains! I think the wired earbuds are definitely a lot better than the ultra budget type wired headphones airlines used to use. I agree with you about having to pay for the IFE, but being able to view the tv shows free of charge kept me entertained on Air NZ trans-Tasman flights a few months ago.

I had the nicest crew on the way to Gold Coast from Auckland, flight felt great and was on the right side.
