Dear JW….Loved your 265 review ZQN-MEL. Thanks for giving Air NZ a clean bill of health. Makes me so proud and that you also rated the crew so well too. I am indeed happy with your comments. As usual you are fair and equitable in your narration and thanks for acknowledging the inflight service standards, drinking topping-up and FOC internet. I wish you had been on Works because the food offering is very good. You are right though as your fare was pricey. Glad you ate well in the lounge all the same. Keep up the great work. You are not only informative but also very entertaining in your reviews. Of all of the airline vloggers I follow, you are by far the best and my favourite. Take care, the both of you. Best Bobo.
Hey Bobo! Thanks for watching 😁😁 Absolutely love Air NZ. Would love to try to Sky Coach soon. 6’4 and I are thinking of doing it from HK to AKL in December, then another flight to Sydney for X’mas. The lamb sounded delicious, we regretted not ordering one to share😂 Cheers😁
Another great trip report/vlog JW. Air NZ is my absolute favourite airline. My very first flight was when I was 18yo flying between Sydney and Wellington, on a DC8, yes, I'm that old! lol It's amazing how the Captain navigates through the alps around Queenstown (fun fact Queenstown is a Captains only departure/landing). It's always a treat to come first, on the aircraft... Even though I'm a Sydney boy, I always enjoy Melbourne. Did you munch on a yummy cake in St Kilda? Kepp up the great work Mr Wong!
Amazing video Jayden, never flown ANZ but pretty cool service into Melbourne which is awesome. Thanks for the very detailed video!! Forgot these videos are from a few weeks earlier so thought you were at the airport yesterday when my friend and I were there planespotting in the terminals for 8 hours!
Thanks Jayden. I've praised your trip reporting and vlogs before, so you probably wouldn't want to keep hearing that. I won't say that your concise yet casual style is marvelous. Your knowing when to say nothing and just show an observed artistic or odd thing. No, I won't bore you. 😂❤ Great job. Cheers.
Great video, Jayden. Queenstown airport looks wonderful, especially for its size. The lounge looked nice with a good selection of food, but agree it must be a pain to go through security twice to get to it on the domestic side. Thanks for the wonderful views on take off! What a beautiful area! The view from your hotel room was pretty excellent too. Hope you enjoyed your time in Melbourne.
@@JaydenWong absolutely, I have to plan to queenstown next cos you know it is almost 15 hours away from Hongkong though, enjoy your every single trip and off course have fun Jayden !
Wow, that is a pretty nice domestic lounge. You were the first down that jetway, I love that. I didn't realize NZ was over 2 hours from Australia (Melbourne). Cool there is music in the lavatory! Seems like a great airline. Melbourne is so huge and diverse. The water at the beach is even clear. As I mentioned before, i never realized Australia was such an immense country until I started to watch your videos.
haha yes I was in the second priority group. The first group was for Air NZ top tier members and nobody on our plane came up😂 Depends where you go from NZ, Perth could be 7 hours!😮💨 You need to come down under to check it out!
Great to see my home country airline on the channel nice review I always use ANZ for flights to Australia. By the way I flew cathay yesterday in economy HKG to AKL the lavatory had not 1 but 2 coathooks! Glad IFE is now free :)
Jayden Air New Zeeland is much better airline than Qantas and many other Indian airlines. Their seats had IFE, Thier washroom had a butterfly wallpaper and an song playing which is very important because sometimes passengers can get scared especially in an compact washroom of a320 if the plane is shaking a little bit which happens sometimes in a320.
Used to do this flight quite a bit! Always amazing views leaving. And sometimes lucky enough to fly over my melbourne home on the way into mel! Must visit again sometime soon 😊
With Air NZ's rather convoluted fare structure, I wonder how hard of a time cabin crews have when serving hot meals, especially since those w/ and w/o inclusive meals are not even seated together.
10:46 what a nice lavatory! Love it how nice! I’m suprised no one wanted to see if so desperately this time!! 😂😂🤣🤣. Also hotel looks ok but meh could be better. Don’t like the bed in the middle.
10:54 Hi Jayden;good video as always 👍😊. Quick question 🤔; what's the interest in coat hooks? You note these; be they anywhere inside the plane (seat or rest room) or in airport or hotel facilities on the ground?
@@JaydenWong Ohhhhhhh😂, see 😊. I thought you were were just keen to see some places had gone to detail of installing it. Now it's gonna have a different meaning when I hear you note it 👍😊. Good video as always.
Hi Jayden, do you use one recording device when recording your content in this video, or do you switch between a digital camera, gimbal device and maybe an iphone (for example)? cheers
If taking Premium Economy or Business class from Hong Kong to Christchurch, how should I consider between CX, SQ or NZ? CX A350 business is relatively not spacious as SQ🤔. NZ business is facing aisle and less privacy.
SQ is shoulder-spacious but you have very little feet space as a result. A lot of people dislike sleeping on SQ business class, you need to find an angle, sleep in a weird position etc. though it is good when you are sitting up right. In business class, seats are staggered so if you get something big, there’ll be a compromise somewhere😂 I am ok with NZ’s configuration but I understand it’s not everyone’s cup of tea. CX definitely wins for business. For premium, both CX SQ have limited room once you and the person in front reclined. SQ 38 inches, CX 40 inches, NZ 41 inches. The extra inch between CX and NZ makes a huge difference!
that SQ weird sleeping position makes me a bit concern as this is the first time to plan flying Business and honeymoon. I think I will go for CX Business this time, at least it is a direct flight and better departure & arrival time. SQ, worth to go for the services and food. NZ, want to try the Skycoach, interesting seat🤣
Great review as always. Dud laugh at your tongue in cheek comment about Symt Kilda Beach - which is on the bay, and not ocean incidently - and your comment about paying your fare on the tram. Hey some of us do you know! (Incidently, there IS a cheaper PT way to get to the city from MEL, via bus and train, but takes near an hour and a bit convoluted.) Also are your proud of your protegé Hugo? He us pointing out more and more cosmat hooks and thumbs ups weekly.. ! 😂
Thanks Richard! Glad you like my humour😂🤣 Good to know you’re a good a Melbourne citizen 👍🏼 I do the Broadmeadows method sometimes, usually when alone but I couldn’t justify an Uber
What? they downgraded the meal service? I flew ANZ exact same route in dec 23, but from MEL to ZQN. I got a full hot meal. Now, they only served snacks?????
Speaking of the NZ check-in you used the other Star Alliance Gold statuses that can use it are Krisflyer PPS Miles and More Hon Circle Royal Orchid Plus Gold Mileage Plus Global Services. Excellent trip report and this definitely rivals UA/DL🇺🇲 A321neos that are also PTV equipped. I wonder if this NZ A320neo beat CI🇹🇼(中華航空) /CX 🇭🇰(國泰航空) & PR🇵🇭 (菲律賓航空) A321neos or not?
21:06 If you wanna see beautiful beaches, I highly recommended Oman in the East, and Caribbean Islands in the West. 21:43. I loved that if you're in the Melbourne CBD travel is free 👍😊

Oh Jayden, you went to queenstown, what a fantastic experience, my dream destination
It’s becoming my annual place to go! I hope you visit soon :)

the male cabin crew is cute 😍
Great video,
The only downside of the mountains is the jet stream lol
Cheers
Thanks for another great vlog. Have an amazing week. Cheers.
Thanks, you too Lawrence!
Nice flight review. The A321 neo is a cool plane to fly on. Those two cities look good.
yep are two very different but wonderful cities ;))
Great work Jayden keep it up
I’m about to book Air NZ flights. Thank you for sharing your journey.
My pleasure :))

my third flight with Air NZ so far and all flights have been great!
i enjoyed my flight into queenstown NZ623 ZK-OYB with a flight deck visit afterwards
lovely!
Good job mate 👍
Another great review Jayden, I love air nz especially the safety video one of the very best
6’4 had a good laugh watching the video haha
@@JaydenWong 😂
Another great video 😊
Great views from Queenstown airport. A take-off in that direction is the most exciting I think.
Yep absolutely!! I’ve tried the opposite direction too. Breathtaking with the lake view :)
Used to do this flight quite a bit! Always amazing views leaving. And sometimes lucky enough to fly over my melbourne home on the way into mel! Must visit again sometime soon 😊
Kia ora Jayden. Welcome to Aotearoa New Zealand.✈️🙂🇳🇿
Thank you so much😁😁
Hi mr Jayden Wong welcome 🤗 to Melbourne Australia 🇦🇺
I loved that kinky bed+desk combination in Melbourne hotel.🤭
Thanks J.
great video. Were they strict with the baggage weight. It is amazing how you get free wifi on air new zealand . It reminds me of jetblue in the USA
Nope no on this flight :) Thanks for watching!
@Jayden Wong Sunday night fish
And chips with Tartare sauce and a Flight review from Jayden Cheers!
yummo! I had some amazing fish and chips in Queenstown too, Erik’s fish and chips. Enjoy !
Brrrr so cold there at NewZealand. Music in the toilets is awful. Good Vlog Jayden. Mr. 6’4 enjoyed himself too. 😂
I heard it’s 41c in WA😮💨🥵 Wonder if the heat will travel to NZ😂😂 Thanks!
With Air NZ's rather convoluted fare structure, I wonder how hard of a time cabin crews have when serving hot meals, especially since those w/ and w/o inclusive meals are not even seated together.
I actually did wonder if they prefer handing meals to everyone or only to a few but they have to look at manifest haha
10:46 what a nice lavatory! Love it how nice! I’m suprised no one wanted to see if so desperately this time!! 😂😂🤣🤣.
Also hotel looks ok but meh could be better. Don’t like the bed in the middle.
hahaha they’re missing out on the butterfly collection😂😂😂
Totally!! 😂😂🤣🤣😂😂🤣🤣

Sure can! Just keep in mind they don’t have business. The economy product is excellent. Some seats also have extra legroom.
21:06 If you wanna see beautiful beaches, I highly recommended Oman in the East, and Caribbean Islands in the West. 21:43. I loved that if you're in the Melbourne CBD travel is free 👍😊
would definitely check out Oman when Oman Air join oneworld hahaha
@@JaydenWong Good news is if ever you want to, Qatar also offer the option and partner with Oman Air from Doha with an A330 😊
Actually, air New Zealand is better than Qantas. Qantas is 3.5 / 5 stars but air New Zealand is 4 Stars
Not when Air NZ charges you over $1000 to fly between Auckland and Queenstown
@@JohnDoe-l3f True
Is your flight to Melbourne 75 to 90% full? 17:30, The brown pillow is if you want to sleep with the brown pillow on your leg.
6:11 so far I liked but a delay in arrival into Melbourne
Love to see from you❤❤❤
I wonder if Airlines realize how much you influence, flight choice?
me too hahaha
Flying with AirNZ from Auckland to Adelaide on an A320NEO later this year so looking forward to it after watching your video. 🫶
Have fun! Look forward to your vid😁
