PALMERSTON NORTH to AUCKLAND (PMR-AKL) on NZ ATR 72-500

I've reported on this route recently so will keep this short.

This is my fourth flight today (so far), fourth different aircraft type, and fourth airline. (This is despite all flights having NZ flight numbers - for the 737 flight was Air NZ mainline, Saab 340 was Air Nelson, Beech 1900D was Vincent Aviation, ATR 72-500 was Mount Cook Airlines - only Eagle Air for Beech 1900D and Zeal320 for A320 are missing.)

The flight was rather bumpy all the way. Again rocking on the tarmac while waiting to start. Flight was totally full and delayed leaving. Lost further time due to headwinds.

For the next flight today, head over to a warm embrace of the tropics.
