Air NZ announces 3 new international routes ex CHC, PER, NRT & SIN

[Ansett Nostalgic]

The biggest issue of going to landside for transit is with goods and customs.
We always bring fruits, vegetables and meat from Australia to Hong Kong due to unlimited customs requirements, that would make it impossible through landside at NZ.

do you have some kind of refrigerated suitcase for that?

Back in the day we used to bring 2-3 tray of mangoes MEL-HKG during the season, no need for a suitcase either, just stack the cardboard trays and taped up.

What about CHC-NRT?

CHC-PER will be one to watch.

Jetstar seat maps are a little light this month (yes aware it’s just started), let alone next month with a second competitor. Not sure if either will bother with that one longer term.

PER-CHC is like flying 7 hours to sit still.
I don't know why anyone would bother.
Unless they want to drive down to Akaroa.
Otherwise, a road trip to Margaret River is much cheaper, and the wine is much better.

Not quite. Lie flat for 7 hours with free WiFi is going to be a great experience.
