Auckland to Christchurch with JQ trip report (with pictures)

Hello guys welcome to my first trip report which covers my first flight for 2012 and first one with Jetstar and flying Domestically in New Zealand, so enjoy.

On the 20th of January I was able to down to Christchurch to spend time with family thanks to Jetstar's low fares. I left Auckland on JQ255 which leaves Auckland at 1740 and arrives in Christchurch at 1905. I want to limit the reading that you have to do so here is my trip report.

I checked in for my flight at 1545 and headed up to security- Didn't take any photo's here. Once past security you reach gates 20 and 21 which are used by Jetstar. The gates were quite busy as there was and earlier flight to Christchurch.

My aircraft today was VH-VQE and was delivered in 2008.

STD-1740

ETD-1729

STA-1905

ETA-1835

as you can see we were really early which was good.
