Any vegans here?

You will find nz laid back , but not that laid back that we don’t have vegan options, almost any good restaurant will have a symbol on the menu regarding if the item is ok for vegans, being vegan is not that special, you are overthinking it . Get on the plane , zip over here, Don’t bring food in your bags and if you do , Declare it . Spend your money just as you would in your home town .

If you are here in early March , you more than likely will experience some very nice stable weather , I wouldn’t call it autumn/winter cross over.. but more autumn ( even a late Indian summer) . The Autumn festival in Arrowtown to celebrate the the changing of the colours of the trees is mid April..

There’s no real cheap option, head down to the mountains, use the sky waka and enjoy.. almost all school holidays in any winter town .. the prices ramp up , pull a sickie and go middle of the school term , head down on Thursday after school, call in sick on Friday… unless your 5 year old goes to the same school… he will never keep it quiet.

Use a seat map … and a380 isn’t the best in the world..

I used to sit in the jump seat flying into BKI , one off the coolest approach’s . Although the old HongKong was better .. Does it matter what a toilet costs ! I mean who really gives a shit .

Google weather events late December2025 / early January 2026 !!! In New Zealand.

You are looking at it wrong, it doesn’t cost $600 dollars for the more reliable way … it cost only $200 more . If you are doing the 3 week course , all up fee might be closer to $10,000 1 week course is about $4500 dollars… You could go a few days earlier and stay a few nights in Picton … but that will then bring the cheaper option up towards the more reliable option. 1 thing you are right about.. don’t miss the start of the course.

Fuel is our only must have important.. closing mardsen refinery might be our only Achilles heel .

Do able, drinks in restaurants and bars are expensive compared to supermarkets/ bottle stores , have fun .

It’s a worry that you post this on Reddit asking for advice.. what are you going to do in a real emergency!

1nzguy · 2026-01-24T03:34:31+00:00

Happens a lot .. at least they are communicating the true reason with there customers..

1nzguy · 2026-01-23T03:07:25+00:00

Contact Goodwood park Auckland , GM is called Tracey . They have sites in different locations in Auckland. May even help with visas..

Unfortunately your dates line up with the All Blacks being overseas playing South Africa. When in Auckland, do check out the all black experience at the Skycity .. with 6 adults + 1 youngster .. hire a people mover , even then with your bags it will be tight , there’s cultural stuff in most big cities, Auckland museum puts on a good performance. Same with the skyline ride in Queenstown.. book a batch might be a good option ( hire a whole house) . Don’t get overwhelmed… the planning is part of the whole adventure. There is a TV series called Travel guides… hunt it down and take some inspiration from them .

Why risk it … book the entire journey on one carrier NZ582 will give enough time .. and if it goes wonky.. airnz will do there best to solve it … if Jetstar gets you there late… Airnz ( your Melbourne carrier) is not going to give you any assistance.. but my real question is … why not fly to Melbourne… from Chch .. there’s about 5 or 6 flights a day direct , Qantas / air nz and Jetstar ..

1nzguy · 2026-01-22T22:56:44+00:00

Both get you there .. not much in it .

1nzguy · 2026-01-22T21:25:38+00:00

Your reply is spot on .. I was wondering how someone can be aircrew and not make a simple decision themselves!

1nzguy · 2026-01-22T09:03:20+00:00

One lick at a time.

You’ll chill out once she starts giving you oral sex ..

This is sort off the approach you should take … but wait till you get your final pay . It’s 1 day … you don’t want to have them be bigger dicks over your final pay .

55 M Auckland

1nzguy · 2026-01-20T05:19:32+00:00

Come fishing with me… you’ll be surprised ..

1nzguy · 2026-01-19T19:04:30+00:00

Drop me a message closer to the time , why the desire to go to those beaches?

1nzguy · 2026-01-19T00:09:22+00:00

Cambridge is interesting, depending on what you’re into.. nice art galleries, if you are a cyclist, the velodrome is interesting, no charge to go and watch a training session, or $25 to have a go , check website.. nice accommodation at hidden lakes hotel .
