AUCKLAND to WELLINGTON (AKL-WLG) on Air New Zealand 737-300 in economy class space+ seats
Next morning (new years day) I showered and checked out of the hotel after just an hour's sleep. There were still plenty of revellers out and about and surprisingly high numbers of travellers on the airport bus. I went to the lounge where I had some juice and caught up on messages in the brief time before boarding.
I fell asleep almost straight away and awoke when the aircraft touched down in Wellington an hour later.
