In for the long haul

I'm currently writing this entry while in the air, we're flying in a Boeing 747-400 Pacific class (in other words economy), first class sits upstairs which is also where the captain sits. This is definitely a much larger plane than the Air Canada plane.

The plane was delayed by about an hour due to some catering issue, but we soon got underway, this flight was 11:45 long. Upon getting on board each seat had a pillow, blanket and complimentary headphones (at this rate I could start a store or something!). Shortly after we took off we had dinner... again. I think the majority of us just wanted to sleep at this point but we had a little bit to eat anyway since it would have been about 6:00pm in New Zealand and thus starts the transision period from eastern time to theirs. We had a choice of beef or canelloni, I went for the canelloni, it came stuffed with spinach and beef. Our choice of drinks on this flight included the standard juice, water, tomato juice (tomaahtoe juice) etc. but also included New Zealand red and white wine at no extra cost.


Asides from that most of us slept, it's been a pretty uneventful flight so far. It's about 2:57 New Zealand time and most of the passengers are up now, we should be getting breakfast at somepoint on the flight, I think there's about 2 hours or so left to go, it'll be nice to be on land again.

In my opinion an uneventful flight would be the best kind of flight

Indeed, though the final leg of the flight was a bit bumpy since I ended up getting a seat at the rear of the plane. Bleh!
