Sunday Night Ops for 9th March 2008 - Cricket Tour Week 2: NZHN
This Week: Hamilton to Wellington (225nm / sector)
The first test is history and the teams and their supporters need ferrying from Hamilton to Wellington in time for the second match. We're bringing in extra flights from the capital to help cope with the travelling armies (barmy and otherwise) that are following this series.
This will keep things nice and hectic for the controllers with two streams of traffic heading in opposite directions. It is also an opportunity for those people who weren't happy with their landing performance in Hamilton last week to improve. Total time for both legs should be somewhere in the vicinity of 2 - 2.5 hours.
Air NZ fly the ATR72 and Dash 8 on this route, but feel free to bring whatever you feel you can land safely at Hamilton!

Thanks to Vatsim NZ for the information
I find flying online with real live controllers and traffic to be a thrilling experience, and recommend anyone to give it a go!
