Trivia buffs ramp up Air New Zealand’s inflight quiz

Trivia buffs from all across Aotearoa have added new questions to Air New Zealand’s popular inflight quiz. 

After inviting the nation to submit their best brainteasers, the airline was overwhelmed with responses, receiving over 1400 quiz questions.

From these, more than 250 have been handpicked to feature on board throughout the month, with each question proudly displaying the submitter’s name and region.

Air New Zealand domestic general manager Scott Carr says the November quiz will be packed with Kiwi flavour, with submissions from all over the country.

Carr said: “We asked our customers to flex their trivia muscles, and they certainly delivered! From fun local facts to obscure knowledge, the variety was fantastic.

“Some of my personal favourites include: ‘What do polydactyl cats have more of than other cats?’, ‘Which Southland town is the self-proclaimed Sausage Capital of New Zealand?’, and the always controversial question: ‘Which country invented the dish Pavlova?’

“If you’re flying on one of our domestic jets this November, you’ll get to find out the answers. With different sets of questions loaded on our north and south-bound flights, customers won’t see the same challenge on their return journey!”

A whole new look

In November, the airline will also unveil a refreshed look for its iconic inflight quiz, which has been puzzling passengers since 2008.

According to Carr: “Our quiz is a beloved staple of domestic jet flights, so we’ve redesigned it to make it even more engaging. The refresh improves readability, with more space for questions and answers, plus new question formats so you can look forward to even more trivia-packed fun onboard.”
