From the ZM podcast network, it's Fletch, Vaughan and Haley's a little bit of pod Welcome to a little bit of pod now Would you say I'm an experienced traveler very much very nice the most experienced travel I know very organized very guys I made a rookie Mistake just a little just a tiny little mistake a little wee error? Yeah, going to Queenstown at the weekend. It's nice for you to admit when you're wrong. They bing bonged. They were like, Queenstown boarding now.

Half an hour before the flight, that's, you know, this is good, we're not gonna be late like that time we sat on the plane for like an hour. An hour. Out of Wellington, they, you know. So get in the line. It's a busy line, it's a big line, lots of people going to Queenstown.

Oh, hell of a spot. Get to the thing, scam a boarding pass and it goes, ah! And I'm like, what? I'm like, this is a flight to Queenstown? She's like, yes it is. And I'm like, well why can't I get on? I've got a boarding pass. And she's like, oh no, that's the next flight.

I was going to say, hon, have you gone early? Hon. No, but do you know what had happened? A previous flight was so late that it was practically boarding like 10 minutes before our flight. I've had this before. Leaving Christchurch, two flights to Auckland,

air New Zealand, you know, like both same airline, maybe five minutes in between. I know. Everyone was getting confused. And I was just like, oh my God, how have they done this? Idiots. Idiots. You see, yeah.

Moron. They would have had a different flight number, right? I don. Idiots. You see, yeah. Moron! They would have had a different flight number, right? I don't do that. You're a dumb dumb. That's a big mistake. That's a big mistake. Cause airlines never run half an hour early. No, but.

That should have been the dead giveaway as they were on time and early. So yeah, so early. So early. I got, when I was on a flight over the weekend and we bought. I wasn't just for every Score you wouldn't have your feet on the ground. You just went in the car Didn't I wear the car actually went in the car quite a bit. Did you check into the car?

You just sort of get it. We were left half an hour early. Yeah. No, I went in and I Sort of forgot what I was gonna say Did you get a lot of sleep on your weekend? Fuck no, God no. Okay, it sounds, yeah. I went on a flight. Yeah, okay, let's walk, we're, step through it. We bought, thank you, we bought it early. She's there, okay.

Oh, we bought it early, got on, and then like everyone was just on, so they closed the doors and started like going back out with five minutes earlier than departure time. I was like, this is amazing. Then we sat on the fucking tarmac for 15 minutes and then we were like, late. That was Sydney though, right?

Cause that airport, sometimes you gotta drive half the way to New Zealand. Yes, yeah, we had a big drive and a big set. You go all the way out, yeah. Yeah. Well, at least you were early. At least I was early, but also, at least they got on the right fucking flight.

Yeah. Jesus Christ. I know, how different was the Yeah. How different was the number? Because you know, like that... Oh, I don't know. If you go to Queenstown, it all starts the same, doesn't it? Yeah, they're never that different. Yeah, no.

NZ1 something something. Yeah. But have you, because quite often on the regional, I think it's a regional thing because the gates, there's so many different gates you can just wander off to. Yeah. Quite often on those flights they'll say, just a reminder, this is the flight to New Plymouth, or this is the flight to Napier. Yeah.

Yeah, yes I know. Have you ever seen someone go, oh yeah, I'm on the wrong flight? No. Because most of it's you gotta scan, it goes through a computer system. Once you get through there, there's like 10 different gates you can walk to,

they don't check once you're, I mean obviously when you get on the plane they try to check. Have a look at the flight number. Usually they just look at your seat and your name, right? Oh well. I wouldn't mind ending up in Queenstown if I wasn't in Queenstown. What a horrible place to end up.

Horrible place to end up.
