Advantages: Everything about the airline seemed to run incredibly smoothly.

Disadvantages: The drinks trolley didn't come around regularly enough for my liking!

I flew with Air New Zealand this summer just gone, we flew to Hong Kong for just £500 return each! We thought this was fabulous and we had a look on the website and couldn't believe we'd booked with what seemed like such a nice airline.

We flew from London Heathrow and Air New Zealand had a separate check in area to the other flights, all the staff were lovely and they allowed us to check in slightly early.

Once on the plane we decided straight away that we'd happily fly with Air New Zealand again, especially after walking through business class. Economy was perfectly alright, there was plenty of leg room and each seat had a TV screen behind the head of the seat in front, and the screen was quite a good size. We had an astounding amount of in-flight entertainment, from games to an endless supply of different albums to listen to, there were hundreds of films, old and new and hundreds of TV shows and documentaries. We wished the flight was longer so we had enough time to make the most of all these facilities! The only problem I had with the in-flight entertainment is that my head was too small for the headphone they provided us with, so it was quite a struggle to keep them on!

The staff on the flight were all friendly and helpful, the pilot was rather chirpy too. Another bonus about the in-flight entertainment was that you could follow the progress of the flight and see where you were and how long till we were due to arrive. It was very exciting.

The flight lasted about 12 hours, and on that flight we had one main meal the food was delicious as far as plane food goes. You could choose between a choice of two main meals, and got a salad, a starter, some bread and butter and a dessert with it. There was also a complementary drinks service that came round now and again, although not frequently enough for my liking!

The flight seemed to go incredibly fast and before you knew it you were in Hong Kong. This airline is brilliant and I would definitely fly with them again.

Summary: A brilliantly brilliant airline!
