Listening to: Postive Tension - Bloc Party

Found this on stuff:

Air NZ has bought two of the revolutionary 787 Dreamliners and plans to buy more.
The first is scheduled for delivery about 2010.

But the airline has so far rejected the possibility of the jets flying to Wellington.

“Air New Zealand’s research strongly suggests that passenger numbers simply do
not illustrate sufficient demand for the airline to commit to Boeing 787 long-haul
services into Wellington at this point in time,” spokesman Mike Tod said yesterday.

If I had the choice of flying home directly into Wellington over
flying via Auckland… It would be Wellington every time. Even if the cost difference
was greater (within reason) than the domestic flight from Auckland to Wellington (god
knows why it would be… 500 km after a flight from LA couldn’t have a cost difference
greater than a domestic flight down from Auckland). Any excuse to skip Auckland International
Airport and that idiotic dash from the international to domestic terminal.
