    Normally we only get 737s and a380s and lots of props. Hence the excitment :)

    yeah, those piffly little A380's must be a real cross to bear!! :)

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

    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!)
