  4. Flying Air New Zealand Anytime Soon?

    May 14, 2009 by Gail

    One of the best flights I’ve ever had was on Air New Zealand. It was Christmas Day, and I was flying Sydney to Auckland. I’d had a really stressful time at the airport (thanks to Australian Immigration in Cairns a few days before, a story for another day), but the four-hour flight to Auckland made up for it.

    It was Christmas, so the plane was decorated like a Christmas tree on the inside, the flight attendants wore earrings like ornaments, the pilots were dressed like Santa Claus, the menu was top-notch (New Zealand lamb), and I sat next to Russell Crowe‘s mate from school, which made for interesting in-flight conversation. (Crowe hadn’t broken into the U.S. film scene yet, but I’d seen “Romper Stomper” in Australia and I knew who he was.)

    Partway through the flight, a bunch of Japanese passengers decided to play card games, which became so heated — cash and coins flying through the air! — the flight attendants had to make everyone sit down again because it was making the plane unstable.

    It was after that flight that I decided Christmas Day is a great day to fly ;) Other Christmas flights since then included Vancouver-Amsterdam, Vancouver-London, and Vancouver-Chicago, but thus far none have topped the one on Air NZ.

    I came across TRANS 1′s Flickr photostream by accident and I am just blown away by his work. The eyes in his graffiti are mesmerizing. Check it out!
