Top airline flying to Nelson
Short flight so no entertainment, turbulence so no food service - overall flight as expected
Short flight so no entertainment, turbulence so no food service - overall flight as expected
Great meal. Best seats ever! They need to teach other airlines how to do that.
Overall excellent but the Captain kept the seat belt sign on for far too long, especially at the beginning and end of the flight. It was 2 hours after take-off before the crew were able to start the service (on an 11 hour night flight, reducing our sleeping time) and the seat belt sign on went on during breakfast (90 mins before landing) and was not turned off again until we landed. This made for an uncomfortable journey of trying to limit fluid intake because it was unclear when the toilets would be available for use.
Food was not good. We asked for Muslim food and it was weird tasteless type of boiled veges.
Crew were pleasant, happy to be there and were a joy to be around. Entire operation was professional, well thought out and ran like a Swiss clock.
United flight from SFO to PDX was cancelled. I will ask for a refund. Had to book on Alaska
They announced food service but then never came around. We also couldn’t land so kept trying to get to runway and then had to come up and go around happened like 3 times and cause the child next to me to start throwing up
There was a snafu with confirming seats at check which left us in limbo for the second leg of our trip. I believe the ANZ app is not well integrated with the systems at the terminal resulting in this disconcerting error.
Flight attendants are always pleasant and helpful. Pilot kept us updated.
Just a hiccup being added to the NZ Traveller Declaration a bit late.
