Cuba Street, Wellington is certainly where all the Cool Cats Hang out & is a favourite of mine, in particular the watering holes

Flight times leaving OOL for WLG, a tad early for those looking for their beauty sleep @ wheels-up @ 7:30am although I'm impressed with the 2:30pm departure leaving WLG back to OOL.

Now only if JQ could give us MEL folk better departure times for flying over the ditch!

They really are abysmal times. Although most of the flights on every carrier to NZ ports other than AKL are pretty bad.

It seems that with MEL having no curfew does have its setbacks.

What I hate is the lack of an afternoon CHC-MEL flight usually the only option is sometime between 6-6:30am. That's not a curfew issue.

Agreed, what's annoying is that since MEL has no curfew some airlines , in particular, JQ take advantage of this & schedule accordingly.
It's annoying that QF has no direct flight MEL > CHC & that JQ's flight is at some ghastly hour near midnight.
Your correct that CHC has a number of early departure's it's like the reverse with MEL.
If travelling to the South Island I often fly to AKL & caught a domestic leg down , more travel time, but less bleary eye

Not defending JQ or any other airline but they are limited in what aircraft they have and how they can best utlise them - 'ideal' timings mean you only get one return service a day, different times that are not favourables means the aircraft can do two returns a day between Aus and NZ. All airlines want the best times but can't because of aircraft availability, airport slots (most importantly) and things like curfew.

True, agreed
