The World's Top 5 Longest Flights to Australia and New Zealand
Multiple airlines offer ultra-long-haul flights to Australia and New Zealand to accommodate high demand among international travelers. Eight of the world's 20 longest nonstop routes by distance involve four destinations: Auckland (AKL), Melbourne (MEL), Perth (PER), and Sydney (SYD). These are the world's longest flights serving Australia and New Zealand. (aeroxplorer.com) Más...I had the "pleasure" of riding OF10 in January, and very fortunately in Business class. It was fine except for two things: 1. NO WI-FI. Hard to believe in this day & age on a 787. 2. The very obnoxious policy of keeping the electronic window shades dark almost until final approach. Who needs 15 hours of darkness?
It is nice to pay for a ticket to ride, but what about the drivers?? I did it for7 years and 2 a month was enough, out and back then some 3 hour local hops. close out the month of flying.
How did you pass the time? Were you able to get up and move around in the cockpit? What is acceptable / expected behavior? I’m uncomfortable flying to Hawaii with a layover in California.
We flew IAH = Auckland last year on Air New Zealand, sat up front, the food and service was exceptional. But $9,000 for a ticket, the seat itself was horrible as was the configuration of the seats in the forward cabin. I would not fly again in business on their planes.
