JetStar arrived from AKL and Star-liveried NZ A320 pushed back.

Fun fact: JQ uses Australia-registered aircraft on domestic NZ flights due to open-skies agreement between Australia and New Zealand.

Our ATR72 arrived from Christchurch. This afternoon flight was originally scheduled on an A320, but was changed to the ATR72 instead subsequently.

Boarding gate for the prop flight is via Gate 1. Interestingly, there were no security checks prior to boarding the flight. We were scanned through and allowed onto the tarmac to board.

Beautiful tarmac view! The red-roo was also at ZQN.

Legroom on this ATR was good, helped by the slimline seats fitted.
