I do not receive any special treatment that wouldn’t otherwise be publicly accessible, in fact, the hotels and airlines have no idea about my visit and that's the way I like it!

I'll just note, my chosen pronunciation came from an article in The Fiji Times explaining the difference between overseas/tourist pronunciations and iTaukei local pronunciations.

Whilst it may feel that the cabin is smaller during boarding with those style of bins; it's actually more pleasing to have while flying when they're all stowed away. Makes the cabin feel more spacious compared to the traditional bins on non Boeing Sky planes. I have not flown on any A320s that has those overhead bins yet but i would guess it's similar to the 737?

@tfft 11 месяцев назад

I disagree. A320/321s are larger and feel more spacious as it is. 737s have the sky interior as a way of fitting more bags, yes, but also to make the interior feel much more spacious when they're closed as you mentioned. In an A320 family aircraft though, the original design doesn't feel claustrophobic to begin with. Thanks for watching 🩴

That said, flying out of Dunedin and Queenstown on either Air NZ turboprops or domestic jets, you have to go through airport security screening to access the departure gates.

I have been trying to check out airlines flying the Ho Chi Minh to London route as like you I want to try out different aircraft's business class product. Going direct to the airlines web page I cannot find out the aircraft used without going through the booking pages and giving all my details. Do you know of a better way, but I know even if they say which aircraft they use it does not guarantee what lands to take us. The last ten round trips have been with Emirates, previous to that it was with Qatar their hub lounge is fantastic. But Emirates wood me with a slightly cheaper fare and limo service in the UK. Emirates use a B777 with the side seats in the two seat configuration, which climbing over the isle side passenger while they sleep at my age of 79 is not easy. the bed /seat is narrow and as I need to sleep on my side does not work too well. So I suffer that to enjoy the wonderful seats and lay flat BED on the A380. I can sleep like a log and on awaking enjoy a beer at the bar and even a meal at a nice table. With newer aircraft coming along it would be great to try them, but would like them to be near or better than the A380s products.

Hey its Hadi pronounced Nandi. Air NZ also flys to European destinations. Putz

@tfft 11 месяцев назад

If I'm a 'Putz" then I'm genuinely scared to know what the hell you are. 1. No, Air New Zealand does not fly to Europe. 2. From the Fiji Times: "we natives of Nadi and other iTaukei people pronounce the name of the place in question as Nadi...tourists by the nature of their pronunciation - and even some locals too for that matter - pronounce it as Nandi so an extra letter, “n”, is added."

As a New Zealander living abroad, I think the new livery is awful. It's too 'busy' at the rear part of the fuselage with the silver fern there. They should never have got rid of the Teal colour, which is part of it's heritage and then continued to only use the Koru in the design. Imagine a 787, or 777 in the '81-'96 livery. I don't feel motivated to book with them BECAUSE of the modern livery. If they eliminated the huge silver fern and placed a small one after the name (like where they used to place the flag), it would be much improved.

Nadi is pronounced NANDI 🙄

From The Fiji Times: "...we natives of Nadi and other iTaukei people pronounce the name of the place in question as Nadi... Tourists by the nature of their pronunciation - and even some locals too for that matter - pronounce it as Nandi so an extra letter, “n”, is added. However one pronounces it, whether it be an iTaukei saying Nadi or one of those who pronounce it as Nandi, they are referring to the one and same place."
