A bit has happened in the past few days.
I've changed my upcoming travel a little bit.
Air NZ has confirmed a previously announced new domestic route
Auckland to Masterton starting 16 February 2009. Flying every route of an airline is a never-ending goal!
I hunkered down in a hotel in my own city for a couple of days to try to beat, by eliminating most distractions, a major milestone that I was in danger of missing. I made it, and picked up a lot of points while doing so.
I have been
invited by Qantas to fly a promotional A380 flight over Auckland! After hoping to fly the inaugural SQ flight and missing out due to a Oneworld RTW, then hoping to fly the inaugural EK flight and missing out due to commitments, then hoping to fly the inaugural QF passenger flight and missing out due to a Star Alliance RTW, then thinking my first A380 flights might be EK on AKL-SYD route next year; this is indeed a
pleasant surprise. It will be my first A380 flight
Woohoo.
