15–22 April 2024

This was the trip that transformed Nony Flights NZ into what it is today.

Over eight unforgettable days, the Australasia Live Tour spanned 10 flights, 9 airlines, and 8 different airports, combining early mornings, back-to-back flights, and high-intensity streaming sessions that tested both gear and stamina.

From the rugged coastlines of Whakatane to the urban chaos of Sydney and the snowy skies of Christchurch, this tour marked the first time the channel went truly international — and the response was overwhelming.
