Jump to postHi James,
Yet another outstanding TR.
Love those Autumn colours.
Brillant...loved both the commentary and the photos.
Jump to postPersonally, I would go for the late arrival into SYD. 6 -9am at SYD is just horrendous. You'll miss the peak hour traffic and be at your hotel quick smart - also, many hotel won't let you check in until after 1pm. Flying all day you shoudl be at your hotel by 9.30pm, perhaps have a few drinks then g...
Jump to postMate,
Don't even bother. You have buckleys chance. You will just have to wear the loss.
Great Report.
I have done that AKL LAX flight many times, usually on NZ6 and will be doing so next month, I love those desserts - yum!

Jump to postYes, you can pre book seats but always comes with the proviso ‘seats are not guaranteed’. However, I have never had a seat change in over 200 + flights.
Ring the NZ Contact Centre and request the seats through them.
