Air NZ 733 CHC to WLG

[Mungous]

I was recently lucky enough to fly up to Wellington from Christchurch for the day on an Air New Zealand 737-300. I would have to congratulate the pilots for such a smooth short flight (32 min) and I didn't even get that annoying ear-popping thing :clap: . I was going to do some spotting on a bank that they fly over but CAA have dissallowed that now due to jet-blast danger :shakehea: . The return trip was also on a 733 but approach was not so good, our descent was somewhat speedy, it was stormy and I didn't even get a coffee! (they do make nice coffee on ANZ once you add about 3 or 4 sugar sachets :lol: ). Well it was pretty good for NZD$125 (about USD$60) return. :wink:

That Wellington airport is a crazy little place with water at both ends of the runway and mountains on each side. I spent a couple of hours up on a hill watching planes land in the heavy winds there. I found it to be good entertainment - my wife didn't think so however...

Yea I know they climb pretty steeply out of there. Was this hill the flood-bank that the road goes beside?
