Flew CHC-BNE-CHC again with Air NZ. Meals more or less the same both ways and the same as in months previous. Sadly getting a bit disillusioned with this. I was looking to book another flight this morning and noticed that the Qantas option CHC-BNE r/t had an optional stop-over available (at a cheaper price than the direct) in MEL which will give me some time to catch-up with some people in the regional office in MEL. All up was around half the price of comparable Air NZ flights. The meals on Qantas - at least as advertised - look much nicer.
