777-300 is a big machine and she looks well.

Rename thread to "What is the biggest plane that lands at Wellington airport" please

The pilot hit the brakes big time there.

They're launching a new interior that will feature the world's first "Skycouch", a way that three economy seats can be foled to make a shelf type bed. I was excited about this last year when I heard the cost might be aimed at couples but according to what I read now its not economical at all and you might as well fly business:



For people over six foot such as myself this would appear to be heaven on a 13 hour flight compared to struggling to fit into a normal economy seat but I'm not paying $7000+

Doesn't even look that comfortable.

Yep. I know me and my misses would be kicked off the plane for fighting in that small space also. Not really wide enough for the average couple

Would Christchurch be capable of handling a 777 ?

Yeah its runway is much larger (3200m vs Wellingtons 1800m!)
