Virtual airline achievement created by ChernAir.

Part of Whispers of Aotearoa GA Tour

Briefing

Leg 8 — NZCH → NZQN

Christchurch → Queenstown

Queenstown sits beside Lake Wakatipu, surrounded by dramatic alpine scenery and deep Māori legend.

The Sleeping Giant

The Remarkables mountain range rises sharply beside you. According to Māori legend, these peaks are the frozen remains of a giant—forever locked in place after being defeated.

Lake Wakatipu itself is said to “breathe,” rising and falling rhythmically due to the heartbeat of that same giant beneath the water.

Queenstown may now be known for adventure tourism, but its landscape carries stories far older than adrenaline.

Criteria

Depart from NZCH, fly to and land at NZQN (188 NM).

You will be awarded AB 500 for completing this achievement.
