Her and her mother (who came Weds) both on the ex SIA 772 and didn't much enjoy it.

AKL Domestic has been insane for the last few months - maybe even before then. Lines back past NZ check-in is not uncommon for peak times.

Not looking forward till the day the domestic A321NEO’s arrive, AVSEC hardly did anything to cope with going from the 133 seat 733s to the 171 seat A320CEO.

Any updated word on when this is meant to end? It has been 10 days since the OP. I thought this was only meant to be the case for 48 hours.

AT LEAST 48 hours was the initial reporting.

Presumably will remain for as long as the terrorism threat level remains at high.

It just seems completely pointless to only be doing it at one airport though, if security is the actual reason. The only reason I can see why it would be still going is to make people feel "safe" travelling on regional flights.

But this has realistically nothing to do with it or they would be doing it at every airport. Even the original reporting said that there was no specific threat to aviation and that the move was to make passengers feel "more comfortable".

It is pointless if you think about it, but I don't really mind. I think it will be giving people a lot of peace of mind at this very hard time for our country.

I just poked my head around the corner when checking family in, I think things are back to normal now insofar as security is concerned.

Airport security for regional flights departing Christchurch is gone now.
