Kia ora and welcome to Wellington!
You've officially landed at the southern tip of the North Island, where the coffee is strong, the hills are steeper than they look, and the wind is considered a personality trait rather than the weather.
If your landing felt a little... athletic, congratulations - you've just experienced a classic Wellington arrival. Locals measure flights not by smoothness but by how much applause the pilot earns. Take a deep breath of salty, sea air, admire the harbour views, and enjoy the fact that you're only minutes from the CBD!
Welcome to New Zealand's capital: compact, creative and quietly confident. Grab a flat white, keep a jacket handy, and make yourself at home - Wellington's glad you made it!
