When I flew from Auckland To Wellington, it was sunny at cruising altitude and it was perfect conditions for flying. Then when we descended through the clouds into Wellington it was stormy, windy, and the plane was being thrown about.
We had a good pilot and we had a smooth touchdown
@emiratesA380NCL Wouldn't matter if there is a headwind. All you have to do is find the distance between the two cities, then figure out the average cruise speed of the aircraft - namely a 737 or A320. It all works out. Headwinds don't makes a lot of difference to the air speed of a plane. As far as time wise your only talking a few minutes here and there and if they're behind time they make up for it by traveling faster, more direct. Its not exactly rocket science.
@nzecureuil2 actually when i flew NCL-DXB one of the many times i have, cant remember when, the flight from DXB-NCL was delayed 1 hour and our flight from NCL-DXB arrived only 5 minutes late (and we held over the gulf for 20 minutes).
Oh well, must just show NZ is bigger than most people think)
Awesome video, next time try getting a video in this weather from a C172 ;)

@emiratesA380NCL Yeah. 1 hour isn't exactly what you'd call long.

@nzecureuil2 I take it you're talking about commercial jets here, not small GA planes. If you are talking small GA planes, you'd be wrong :P
