Am I getting bigger or are AirNZ winding the seats closer a centimetre each week?
They seem to have just crossed the line where you can’t open your laptop on your tray any more.
This is a major pain. Normally on the way home I bang out some email follow ups from meetings during the day, maybe write a blog post and just catch up. I can’t do that anymore so that 30 minutes dead time used for catch up now has to happen at home later on. Grrrrrrrr!
I’ve been doing the once a week to Auckland for probably 15 years or so now. I had a 7:30 this morning and found myself in Auckland the same night as the Cure. Sometimes you need to take the opportunity.
Vector Area was really convenient, thought it would be great if they stuck some egg crates or whatever around the walls to fix the sound.
The Cure was nostalgia night and good to see people of my vintage reliving their youth. When they said it would be 3 hours you knew it was going to be indulgent. They could have taken 60 minutes out of the middle and it would have be better.
We have kids now. We pay baby sitters. 2 hours is plenty.

Rod….least you didn’t complain it was too loud (only poor quality). Great concert, first time I’d seen them in 25 yrs (yep, same generation as you). Think the eye make up and lipstick on Robert Smith looked more effective when he was in his early 20’s. Somehow doesn’t look right now that he’s our age!!!!
I have the same problem on Australian airlines. I have to tilt the screen forward like it’s partially closed. People think I’m nuts. I miss the days of business class when I worked for an investment bank :(
Hot tip, volunteer to be the emergency exit guy. You get more leg room and all you have to do is open the door if the plane crashes :)
