It used to be that QANTAS would fly a passenger-full 737 *to*
Queenstown, but would only fly it out empty so that it could obtain
the necessary height to get out of the valley. You'd catch a smaller
plane (or a bus) to Christchurch to get a plane back to Oz. Things
might have changed since though.

Cheers,
Marc
