To New Zealand I go
I am leaving for Auckland tonight. Am actually feeling terribly nervous yet jaded and a whole host of other emotions. Just blogging as I think this may help calm myself down somewhat.
In my previous post about DC, I forgot to mention that I flew via ANA (All Nippon Airways). Yes, after watching the Jap drama starring Kimura Takuya as an ANA pilot a few years ago, my bro and I were actually really hoping to experience taking the plane that the actor supposedly flew in the drama. Well I must say that our expectations were much heightened, although the flights were still enjoyable ones overall. The food onboard truly left much to be desired, although most are still edible. Service, though, was impeccable. I fly very frequently and have experienced many different airlines, however I have yet to encounter one that provide service the way ANA does. The flight stewardesses were impeccably dressed and never seemed to have a hair out of place. Their make-up were thick, but tastefully applied. They all possessed grace in form and feature that were seldom seen in other places, especially those in European airlines, who often had this hard, standoffish veneer about them. The ANA stewardesses, on the contrary, were always full of smiles. There was never a time when I felt that my requests burdened them in any way. But plane-wise, I would think that SIA, Emirates or even Qatar Airways are newer and more comfortable. This goes for their inflight entertainment system as well.
