Yes you can file in the air but in the past when I was doing navigation training, Controllers certainly made you feel like a pain in the arse for doing so

Re-read the notice we got from Airways. It's the 20th for the withdrawal of 0800 NBOPLN, 1st April the Fax service goes.
As previously advised to the General Aviation community the following changes to services currently provided by Airways National Briefing Office (NBO) and Air Traffic Support Sector (ATSS) based in Christchurch, will take effect.
The FAX ON DEMAND (FOD) service and associated phone number (0800 654 957) will be withdrawn. NOTAM briefings are available via the internet on IFIS at: www.ifis.airways.co.nz and pre-flight weather briefings are available from New Zealand Met Service via the Airways IFIS website or direct from New Zealand Met Service at: metflight.metra.co.nz.
The freefax number of 0800 626 329 is also being withdrawn. Although IFIS is the preferred option for filing Flight Plans they can still be faxed to the Airways NBO on (03) 358-9192. Remember that you must receive a faxed acknowledgement as proof the information has been delivered.
FLIGHT INFORMATION SERVICE – BROADCAST (FISB) on VHF frequency 126.8Mhz in the Auckland area will be withdrawn.
The telephone numbers for the Airways National Briefing Office are changing from 0800 NBOPLN (0800 626 756) to 0900 62675. Calls to the Airways National Briefing Office on this 0900 number will be charged at the rate of $2.50+GST per minute or part thereof.
For a period of 2 months after 20 April 2009 the number 0800 626 756 will broadcast a message advising the new numbers to call to speak to NBO staff.

Common Sense has provailed- for now
National Briefing Office and Fax on Demand
Information has been distributed to members of the aviation community about changes proposed to some of Airways New Zealand's services.
The proposals concern the phone number for the National Briefing Office, a charge for calling them, and withdrawal of the Fax on Demand service.
These proposed changes have been deferred, and the numbers remain the same.
