It's a fine spring evening in May of 1988 and you've just settled back into the plush lamb's wool covered First Class recliner aboard Air New Zealand's beautiful two-tone blue and white DC-10-30 ZK-NZM. Ahead lie three flights and fifteen hours of travel between Auckland and Los Angeles with stops in Nadi, Fiji and Honolulu. Pan Am operates a nonstop 747SP between AKL and LAX, while United operates a one-stop 747-100 via HNL but you prefer the well regarded First Class service aboard Air New Zealand, all the more so because on this 2 stop flight you'll be served dinner, a light meal and a full hot breakfast enroute to Los Angeles. Speaking of which, let's have a look a the large, colorful menu highlighted by an artistic rendering of a pair of Banded Dotterels, a shorebird common to your home on New Zealand's North Island.
