Freedom
Air, based in Auckland New Zealand, started
operations in 1995 and specializes in low cost
"value based" flights. The airline operates a fleet
of Boeing 737s on domestic flights between
Auckland, Christchurch and Wellington. Freedom operates international routes across the
Tasman sea from 4 cities in New Zealand to half a
dozen destinations in Australia.
This program takes you on domestic flights between
the 3 destinations it serves on this network as
well as on a roundtrip across the Tasman. You will
sit in the cabin for 1 flight and in the cockpit
for all others.

Great
Video and recommend it to anyone who enjoys 737s and New
Zealand & Australia. EJL

I
bought this dvd because the 737 is my favorite aircraft of
all time. I also got it becuase it looked interesting. After
recieving the dvd, I watched it about 10 times. Everytime I
watch it I learned more. I reccommend this dvd to everyone.
It is short and sweet. Kyle

This
DVD was a nice look at 737 operations in New Zealand and
Australia for this airline. The scenery was great too
especially in Auckland and if I recall it was nice to hear
people in management talking more about the airline in
detail. As seen in Cougar, Spanair etc. and other airlines
its great to see more women in the cockpits which was once
considered a 100% male dominated profession. Way
to go ladies! You should be proud. Jeff

This
was my first War dvd and now I have 3 others. This would
most likely be the best so far. I most liked the approach
and landing in Wellington. Thank you Matthew

Until
I watched the Freedom Air DVD, I had no idea that New
Zealand was so beautiful. Once again, the pilots do a
wonderful job of briefing us - and the first flight of the
program from Hamilton to Brisbane filmed entirely in the
cabin was great. My favorite part of the DVD is
the take-off from Wellington - looks like an absolutely
great place to visit. Another highly recommended
program!! Amy

As
always another great DVD by World Air Routes. Nice scenery
of New Zealand and Australia. Outstanding briefing by the
Ground Ops. Manager at Hamilton and Wayne Dodge (VP &
General Manager of Freedom Air). Viewers will get to see an
interesting contest on New Zealand facts/trivia and win some
nice prizes during one of the flights. Great airline and
great DVD. Thank you World Air Routes. Stan

This
particular Freedom Air DVD has enabled me to enjoy the
flight from the front seat (cockpit) as I have flown this
airline many times across the Tasman in the back with the
rest. I have flown 737 aircraft often (Microsoft flight
simulator) and was great to see/hear the real pilots in
flght. I will purchase more DVD's in your great range
soon.
