What kind of airplane is that, Rich?  Phil guesses a 777 or airbus.

Hi Kelly

Its a 747-400  Air New Zealand

Seat Row 1

NZ Licenced the Upper Class Suites from Virgin about 12 months ago, when they went to 2+ class service from LON-LAX (Dropped First Class, and introduced Business Premiere,  Premium Economy and Economy)

Its by far the best Business Class service across to LA,  the seat flips over and turns into a fully flat 7ft bed.

Expensive service at £6000 for a return,  but we manage to fly it free using Frequent Flyer points (No matter how good it is I am not spending £6k on it!!!)

Cheers

Aha!  I'll let Phil know. 
Frequent flyer miles are how the 4 of us got to SD too.  Love 'em!

Yep,  i spent 7 years on a commute,  2 weeks Las Vegas, 2 Weeks UK  - So sitting on just over 3Million Star Alliance Miles now

(Works out 68k miles for a Business Return, so will take me a year or 10 to burn thru them)! 

Thats working on the fact I am stuck in the UK now but they may just change plans and have me back on the cross pond hop again!!

lol, that's the second most insane commute I ever heard of.

Is that Micky from Dr Who at the con?

Yep. Noel Clarke was signing at the Inkworks booth. Although they are issuing a card set based on the new series, there is no release date yet.

Thats why I have given it up for now, really was starting to take its toll.

You know you are travelling too much when you fly to New Zealand for a 30 min meeting "At the Airport" get straight back on the same plane that took you there and fly home without even leaving the airport.!

So we are trying to enjoy our travelling now,  unless work throws another curveball and I end up back on long distance commute again
