Breakfast in the Christchurch Koru

Yesterday I travelled from Hamilton to Hokitika... I wanted to catch the morning flight to Hokitika so that meant a shuttle to Auckland at 3.45am!!! to catch a 6.00am Auckland to Christchurch to connect with the 8.20am to Hokitika.

There was supposedly no connection from Hamilton... The first Hamilton leaves at 6.10am to arrive at Christchurch at 8.00am. It seems 20 minutes is no longer enough connection time. When did this change???

As it happened the Hamilton flight landed at 7.40am!


Air New Zealand ATR 72-600 ZK-MVE from Hamilton lands on Runway 11 at Christchurch on 9 March 2020  

Air New Zealand ATR 72-600 ZK-MZC taxis for the gate at Christchurch on 9 March 2020

And then the sun disappeared and I got one of those dreary high overcast days... Air New Zealand ATR 72-600 ZK-MVK taxis for the gate at Christchurch on 9 March 2020

Sounds Air's Pilatus PC12 ZK-PLB  taxis for the gate at Christchurch on 9 March 2020. This got me wondering what the new schedule was for Sounds Air between Christchurch and Blenheim now the Napier route has gone... it is shown below

  1. Their minimum connection time is 25 minutes, or 35 minutes when using the multicity tool.
