Thanks! But now that you’ve seen them all I need to rattle my dags and get the next one out!

@@SupersonicKiwi You certainly do, I get hangry without my ration of Supersonic Kiwi videos! But don't worry, I need to hurry up and get my next one out too

Thank you! And thanks for watching!

Thank you so much, that’s very kind. I hope you manage to spot everything on your list, and you have a great time in New Zealand!

Air New Zealand’s seats a a little bit wider and most of them have more space between your seat and the seat in front. Their planes are a bit newer and have more modern in flight entertainment systems. Qantas gives a meal to every booking class. Both have fairly standard seats - pretty firm. Air NZs have a bit of a bucket shape, which some people don’t like, but I don’t mind.

Thanks so much!

Oh no! But I can totally imagine it - no one really knowing what they’re meant to be doing or what’s going on. It would have made excellent content, but a terrible experience!

I’m on a plane, that’s what I’m on. It’s the best, right? I’ve flown hundreds, if not thousands, of times, and it still amazes me. Even the seemingly mundane bits are so awesome.

YES! I saw them. Actually, I don’t know what they look like, but hopefully it was, as that’d be really cool.

No lemonade! That’s a travesty! No wonder you’ve never flown them again, haha.

I’ve started about 10 reviews, and I honestly have no idea which one I’m going to get done first! I’m making pretty good progress on an Auckland to Houston one, so maybe that will be next…

@@SupersonicKiwi cant wait! (:

@@SupersonicKiwi you should live stream a flight!

Oh, wow, yeah, that’s very unusual. Must have been awesome! And thanks for the kind words, I really appreciate it

Once the Domestic A321s are out of storage Hamilton to Christchurch flights will seasonally be run by the Ceo's. I have heard.

@HayleyLuxton-g8u oh, sweet, that’ll be cool.

Thanks! The more I think about it the more I like the E190 over the 737 - more seat space, only one person between you and the aisle, and a quick boarding and disembarkation. I don’t think I’ll be back in Brisbane until next year, so it’ll likely be a 738 or A320, but who knows what might happen!

After talking it up on your stream I decided it wasn’t awesome enough, so I made it more awesome just for you. I’m so pleased you like it!

It shall forever more be known as the Supersonic Kiwi Cheese and Cracker Scale. I’m so pleased you got a moment of joy from it!

Oh, yeah, that would have been a good thing to mention - I’ll add it into the return flight when I get to making it. Thanks for the great idea!

@@SupersonicKiwi and how conformable were the seats? I heard they are very firm/hard. Thanks 😊

@@Samantha-xr4mx they are reasonably firm, but with the blanket it wasn’t too bad. I definitely managed to sleep ok.

Oh, wow, that will be nice!

Thanks for watching and for trying something new!

That would be so cool! If we both push that out into the universe I’m sure it’ll happen! Although I’d probably need to book a QF long haul as a first step, haha. I have a few short hauls coming up, but nothing long with QF currently in the calendar :(

@@SupersonicKiwiwe also do shorter flights like Sydney to Denpasar on the A330-200 if that helps 😂

@@rachellowden4548 I’d love to go to Bali, and an A330 would be a bonus, not to mention having you as crew!

@@SupersonicKiwionly problem is I work in economy 😂 but if you were up the front I’d come say hi hahaha

I’m not sure how to take this, but I guess, thanks? Definitely thanks for sticking with my videos until you found one you like - that’s real dedication!

Thanks so much! Oh, I love the word ‘adjudication’ and I’m definitely going to use it in an upcoming video.

Thanks!

Oh, wow, I was unaware that SYD has a curfew. That was very lucky! I mean, it would have made for excellent content, but it definitely would have been a very frustrating experience!

@@SupersonicKiwi I almost got caught a few years ago SYD-HKG. I was still stowing stuff in the overhead when the skipper pushed back. I later spoke to him about the tight schedule. Made up time and we arrived in HKG about on time.

@@robharris5467​​⁠oh, that’s super interesting. I thought they weren’t meant to close the doors until everyone is seated, or is that an airline rule and not a more general aviation rule?

@@SupersonicKiwi I was seated the front row of economy so was last to board - rear to front loading. Not sure about rule but skipper told me 'I had to push back because I knew how long the taxi would be'.

As far as I’m aware Air New Zealand have never had any ATR42s, and don’t have any on order. Do you have a source you could point me to?

Hi! Thanks for another positive comment, I really appreciate it. I don’t know what the resealing cost, but the Alexandra airport 1200x30m runway resealing cost $930,000 - www.codc.govt.nz/your-council/news?item=id:2mcjuyebq17q9s02a55n and the Timaru runway is 1130x90m, so I guess somewhere between $2.5m and $3m?

Thank you so much. I always love reading your super positive and supportive comments. Keep being awesome!

I think you’re looking at this backwards - your plane ride will also soon be a part of history too, and when you tell people about it you will, in that moment, absolutely be a historian! Congratulations!

@@SupersonicKiwi i guess i cant deny

The only place I can think of is when I’m talking about the seat pitch and my height - I’m more recent reviews I usually say both the metric and imperial, so the person watching can understand regardless of where they live and the system they use. Or are you referring to something else?

It always feels like a bit of a high five moment when they give you the whole can, and a top up is a nice bonus, but I’m going to double down on the beverage that fits in the cup, haha. I’ve been mulling over the cheese to cracker ratio for a while, I’m pleased it landed well with you, thanks for watching!

It was certainly a bit more detective work than I had initially anticipated! Thanks!

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks!

Thanks! I use Premiere, sometimes there’s a little bit of After Effects. It’s not the cheapest option, but it’s what I know, and the way it saves projects allows me to easily move files and backups around as I flit between projects

Yeah, I’ve never had that happen before. I assume we entered the runway with ATCs blessing. The Qantas 737s often go long on their arrivals at Wellington so I don’t know why anyone thought they’d get off the runway any quicker than they did! I found it all very exciting at the time, but my wife didn’t even notice, haha!

They are sooooo good!

@@SupersonicKiwi they are very good but not as good a coles chokchip cookies nothing is better then them

@PotatoGod6969 oh, I’ve not had those ones - I’ll have to get some next time I’m over!

Always sunny in Sydney, right?

Wow, thanks, that’s awesome! So glad you like my reviews!

I’ve actually been trying to figure out how to work Barrier Air into my schedule, but I haven’t been able to make it work without it costing a small fortune! Hopefully I’ll be able to make it work, possibly later in 2025.

@@SupersonicKiwi ok cool thanks there cool little planes grand caravan my name is Lachlan a 12 kid who lives in nz I’m actually in Samoa right now came over in the 787 Dreamliner

@katherinejoynes4704 oh, awesome, I hope your plane ride in the Dreamliner was excellent!

Thanks! I quite liked it, and I agree - they’re a perfectly proportioned little jet. Hopefully you’ll get on one at some point

@@SupersonicKiwi yeah surely one day.

Thank you!

Oh, a wet lease. I don’t know how I missed that. Thanks, I have the return flight to make and I think talking about this would be super interesting, thanks!
