Thursday, 22 March 20123 min read

Passengers on board Air New Zealand’s all black A320 will be invited to take part in a world first for in-flight entertainment on selected services between Auckland and Queenstown.

Marking Air New Zealand’s sponsorship of the NZ PGA Pro-Am golf tournament, the airline is running the 30,000ft in-flight putting challenge where passengers will be invited to putt down the aisle of the aircraft.

“At Air New Zealand we’re crazy about rugby on the outside of our planes and we’re crazy about golf on the inside,” said Air New Zealand’s head of sponsorship, James Gibson.

Four passengers on each flight will be given the opportunity to putt down the aisle to win a range of golfing prizes.

The overall champion will be awarded a prize pack consisting of a VIP trip for two to watch the final day of the inaugural NZ PGA Pro-Am Championship, including flights, accommodation and a brand new set of custom-fitted Callaway RAZR clubs kindly supplied by Callaway, another tournament sponsor.

The live leader board will be shown at www.theflyingsocialnetwork.com.

The competition will conclude on Monday, March 26 with the winner announced on Tuesday, March 27.

The NZ PGA Championship is being held at The Hills Golf Course in Arrowtown, from March 29–April 1.
