NZ5236

New Plymouth to Auckland


I already had my boarding pass printed in Auckland, so it was just a matter of waiting for the boarding call. I was constantly looking at the time, worried about making my connection back to Whakatane. I was cursing myself for having taken such a stupid risk. The boarding call was delayed due to a passenger needing a DPL (disabled persons lift). Finally the boarding call was made, and thankfully boarding was super fast and the doors were shut and we were on our way within 10minutes.

We took off to the South, banking right for abit then levelling and making our way to 15.000ft. Like our landing, it was a super turbulent and miserable climbout.



Seeya Later Taranaki, Our super turbulent and miserable climbout.

The Two FAs did a Water, Biscuit and Lolly run through the cabin, then did a rubbish run. The views out the window consisted of cloud and haze. We started our descent after seemingly short flight into Auckland. We landed from the east, and taxied to the same distant prop gate we had when we left.

Being at the front of a rear loading aircraft when in a extreme hurry was big oversight on my behalf. It took ages to deplane!! I rushed inside only to find my onwards flight back to Whakatane was delayed 55minutes. :(
