Journey to New Zealand

When we (my wife and I), went to New Zealand we flew from Heathrow, briefly stopped over in Singapore airport and arrived in Auckland many hours later. Singapore airport is great and we were lucky to be there on New Years Eve, so it was decorated appropriately. There were flower beds with Orchid in them and really interesting shops.

The whole journey was 25 hours, which is a long time to be in the air. However, the time went very quickly given that there were films and TV programmes to watch, good food to eat, magazines to read and we did get quite a lot of sleep. When I was awake I found it passed the time quite well to observe the cabin crew at work. This was not as dull as it sounds since the stewardesses were all charming, great looking ladies from Singapore. I would definately recommend Singapore Airlines to anyone. The planes were on time, relatively roomy and the cabin crew were really attentive.


We arrived in Auckland at 9 am and were met at the airport by a representative of the company that we booked our holiday with, 'Rest New Zealand Tours'*. More about Auckland next time.
