    I’m stupidly sick at the moment but this video has given me laughs and happiness in general, feeling a bit better after that. Have a great night Gerard😊

    Excellent editing and composition.
    Crazy how many loops you had to go through regarding your ticket.
    Looking forward to future videos. Subbed!

      Thank you so much, that's incredibly kind of you.
      Yeah, everything was crazy for a while there. Recently Air New Zealand relaxed a pile of their rules and started letting passengers move their flights around more easily, now if they restrict or cancel they let you pick the replacement flights - it's so much easier, and has probably reduced a lot of call volume into their call centre.
      Just checked out your channel (and subbed back), you have some excellent view numbers. That's super impressive - well done!

    great video! critical for de-icing to be performed correctly

    • @SupersonicKiwi
      @SupersonicKiwi  ปีที่แล้ว

      Absolutely. Having said that, it did create streaks on the window that made my footage a bit less awesome. I mean, I totally don't want to crash, but my view!

      Thank you! I really love flying in from the north - I always sit on the right so I'll get to see out over the city on the way in, but more often I see red rocks and the terminal building as we approach from the south. I'm so pleased you liked it.

    Nice video. How'd you get the orange Priority tags for this flight? I thought domestic Priority is printed on the tag itself?

    • @SupersonicKiwi
      @SupersonicKiwi  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Well spotted! It's printed when they come out of a kiosk, but if a human at a counter checks you in they still put the orange tags in (I'm not sure if it's on the printed tag or not, and I'm unconvinced that it gets them onto the carousel any sooner on a domestic).
