Two weeks ago AKL - ZQN, at take off we were advised it was "windy" at our destination. As we we preparing to make the descent the flight deck comes on and says (something to the effect) that it's still windy and we are in for an "interesting" approach.
I was in 4C and could see the ground was a long way down, but the lady in 4F could see mountains brushing the wingtip (from her expression).
It was a very frisky approach and I was damn pleased to be down. As we got off the CC at the door said to the guy in front of me "It was not as bad as we expected!"
Our taxi driver into Queenstown commented that an earlier flight had been obliged to abort and go around again - pretty happy I hadn't been on that one!
