THE A321 NEO at Wellington (With lucky @Matthew on board)
Hello everyone,
The last 2 weeks have been pretty awesome for welly spotters as we got our first 737 MAX flight a few days ago, but today we got our first ever A321 NEO to come to Wellington. Unfortunately, the NEO was just operating this route once and it will switch back to the A320 from tommorow! However, today over 25 people gathered at different locations to watch the A321 come in from its short hop from Auckland (and the departure). Also, awesome community member @Matthew was onboard the arriving flight so if anyone can spot him in one of the windows, then good job!
I seemed to randomly take a ridiculous amount of beacon shots, no idea why xD
As usual, make sure to check me out on Instagram

The Arrival
The Wexford/Calabar road lookout provided for some awesome views of the arrivals and these are some of my personal favourites. Hope you enjoy them! @Matthew the landing didn’t look soft, how was it?


The Departure
For the departure, me and my spotting mates spent a good 20 minutes trying to climb quite a steep and tall hill, but I think the view paid off. (Coming down really sucked tho)
