Cool quick hop across the strait
Thanks!
The old star alliance livery in the background😢❤
I know! The Star Alliance A321 is quite nice though…
@@SupersonicKiwi It def is
It's almost like flying on a 747, with fewer crew, and less catering options. Great video - I always enjoy your commentaries
It really is. You hit the nail on the head there! Thanks, I’m so glad you like them.
Thanks for letting me watch this video before its release, its another great one too. I hope your auntie had a good birthday.
Thanks, it was a great day!
Amazing video as always ;)
Thank you!
Very smooth
Thanks!
Hi mate! Thoroughly enjoying your trip reports. Great crew (in the air, and on the ground)! Would love to see you do some flying around the South Island too! Safe Travels!
Great shout, I do need to vary up my South Island destinations a bit. I have a Nelson trip in September, but sadly that’s it for new South Island airports this year (I have a couple of CHC flights booked, but I’ve already done CHC and have one on the go for that route). I’ll make it a goal for 2024!
Amazing! Now they fly soth one pilot, you can sit in the co-pilot sit, it’s amazing!!
I can’t wait for my next flight!
Beautiful video ❤
Thank you, you are so kind.
Amazing Video, Im a Local of Picton and Sounds Air is perfect there used to be 10 Flights a Day! But anyways great video hope you enjoyed making this
Thanks! I am a big fan of small airlines, and Sounds Air is a stand out operator in my opinion - great planes, good routes, and awesome people. I got to relive a great flight at the end of a wonderful day every time I worked on this one, it really was a delight to make.
awesome video
Thank you!
Gotta lie the small planes 🛩! Soo much fun
Yep. Such a good time!
Yess! I've been waiting for this! Thanks for posting this amazing video!
Thanks, and you’re welcome!
very informative i like seeing airports im likely never to visit
Thanks, I'm pleased you liked it! I'm not sure that Picton is on many people's lists as a 'must see' airport! Thanks for watching.
Amazing vid as normal, keep up the amazing work!
Thank you so much!
@@SupersonicKiwi I didn't know there was a second stst alliance livery, first time I have seen that a320
@@PatLeRat sadly it's retired now
@@PatLeRat this is from 2019, and that plane (ZK-OJH) is no longer in service for Air New Zealand, it’s flying as AP-BOA for AirSial in Pakistan.
@@SupersonicKiwi aaah, that makes more sense now, sad to see that it has gone
Love your videos man, keep it up!
Thanks so much!
Awesome I love these Sounds Air reviews!
Thanks! I love flying with them, so that’s a double win!
Great flight review, and those were some amazing views over the cook strait.
Thanks!
Nice! Lol a bird in sound air get it? Cuz sound air livery is a bird
Haha, nice one!
must be a neat experience on such a small plane. Cool view too! And great review as usual
I do enjoy the little planes. I have a very fond memory of flying from Nadi to one of the outlying islands on a wee island hopper. The airfield on the island was gravel, and the pilot was in a hurry, and it was all very exciting, haha!
Nice trip report!! Do you have any upcoming bookings with them on the PC12? Thats my fav plane to fly on, especially when you get to sit in the flight deck!
Thanks! I don’t have anything booked with Sounds Air at the moment, it seems unlikely I’ll have the opportunity until the summer at the earliest :(
What great ground crew in Wellington! It looked like a great flight. Thanks again for a great review. 😃
They were totally awesome. My wife told them that I make videos for TH-cam and they were exceptionally accommodating. I feel like they would have been amazing even without that piece of information.
I’d hope so! 🤣
Epic hey just wondering what was that star aliiance airline cause it wasn't air nz
The flight in this video is from 2019, and that was an Air New Zealand plane (ZK-OJH) but it’s no longer in service for Air New Zealand, it's flying as AP-BOA for AirSial in Pakistan.
Oh okay sorry about that
@@NZAircrafts_2247 all good!
Great review mate! I've always wanted to fly Sounds Air
Thanks! It’s a great service - I mean, they’re little planes, so you need to be into that, but the views are excellent and the people are amazing, so what’s not to like?
As always a very enjoyable review 👍
Thank you!
@@SupersonicKiwi :)
Great flight review, looks like a very personalised flight experience flying across the Strait there!
Thanks! Yes, it was a great flight.
Hello 👋
Are there any commercial flights like boeing?
In and out of Picton? No, only Sounds Air services PCN. Air New Zealand fly DHC-300s in and out of Blenheim, which is only a 20 minute drive away. In fact, if PCN is closed the flights divert to Blenheim.
buetifull view
It was a great day to fly!
Why don’t you need to have flight mode on?
I wasn't entirely sure, so I had a bit of a hunt around, and apparently it's to do with there being fewer passengers. These planes carry 12 passengers or less but have roughly the same amount of avionics as the 150 passenger commercial jets. Having 12 cell phones trying to connect to a “non-existent” cell tower is a lot less interference than 150 cell phones trying to do the same thing.
Please go to Stewart island flight
If I did that I’d tick off two airports - I’ve never flown in or out of Invercargill before and it looks like that’s the only place to get a flight to Oban from.
Oh ok
