Home Sweet Office
I woke up in the crew bunk after the breakfast service and downed a hot meal standing in the galley. I was quite impressed by Air New Zealand’s Boeing 787. It was a much nicer experience than the two Air India 787s which I flew on. The décor was nice, entertainment excellent and very quiet […]

We arrived on a happier note […]
