I was on that flight too... and I have to say I'm less than impressed by Emirates.... Fair enough the plane goes tech, but to be sat there for 5 hours was ridiculous... And the farce in the terminal, join three seperate queues to get accomodation, rebooking tickets, transfers...... argh.... 3 hours later.....

Glad you reckon you got "a night" in Christchurch.. I arrived at the hotel at 1.15am and checked back in at the airport at 4am ... woohooo!!!
