Flight time:
55 minutes. You take off, tea and coffee are served, then you're landing again. Swift and efficient.
On time: About 10 minutes late leaving because of the plane's late arrival. But we made up a bit of time in the air.
Seat: 22A. The two seats next to me were empty, as were two across the aisle, which provided a good distance between me and the woman in 22F, who sounded like she had the black lung.
My seat was at the window behind the wing, so I could watch the beauty of Queenstown fade into the distance, and see the Southern Alps fade into the Canterbury plains as we approached Christchurch. At least, I would have done, if I hadn't fallen asleep on take off.
Fellow passengers: A mix of international and domestic tourists, plus Cantabrians returning home.
Entertainment: It was the first of the month so there was a brand new copy of the inflight magazine.
Service: Cameron and his team of two cabin crew were friendly and efficient. And didn't disturb me while I slept, which was appreciated.
Food and drink: Standard tea, coffee, chocolate chip cookie and barbecue vege chips offering. I missed out on my allocation because of the aforementioned napping.
Toilets: As above, I'm afraid I slept for more or less the whole 55 minutes, so I didn't frequent the toilets.
Luggage: 23kg of checked luggage and 7kg of hand luggage. Standard; ample.
Airport experience: Queenstown Airport is excellent. There's a good variety of shops to browse, a great cafe/bar and plenty of seating with great views of the Remarkables.
Christchurch Airport was pretty quiet when I arrived so it was a breeze getting my bag and getting out of there.
Would I fly again: Absolutely - it's a much more efficient way of crossing the South Island, but you still get some great views. If you can keep your eyes open, of course.
