TV series Vikings.
Kristin Edge flies aboard Jetstar's flight JQ295 going from Auckland to Queenstown.
The plane: Airbus A320.
Class: There's no distinction here — all for one and one for all.
Price: $373 return. Not too bad considering it was late December.
Flight time: 1 hour 35min — a fast trip.
Seat: 3A, window seat with great views.
Fellow passengers: A couple of big tour groups but the rest a mix of nationalities.
How full: Only a few spare seats.
Entertainment: I went for the BYO iPad option, loaded with some favourite Netflix episodes of Vikings.
The service: The staff were smiling and attentive.
Food and drink: The usual inflight fare of sandwiches at a price — and these days you even pay for a cuppa.
The airport experience: A belt break down in Queenstown Airport meant a longer wait than usual for the luggage.
The bottom line: Cheap and cheerful but my advice is if you want a snack, take your own.
