I’m sitting in the JAL business class lounge (Air NZ code share partner I guess) at Narita airport and am 2.5 hours into my trip home. The first 2 hours was the bus ride from the hotel to the airport and when I got here I found that I was able to upgrade to business class using my frequent flyer complimentary upgrades – yay! The seats are pretty sweet and as it’s a night flight I’ll hopefully be able to get some sleep. The great thing is that at the end of the month I’ll get two more complimentary upgrades for going to Air New Zealand’s highest level of frequent flyer!
It’s now 16:30 here and 20:30 at home – I get into Wellington at 14:30 tomorrow so only 18 hours to go, sheesh….
