Geez Roger ,that doesnt sound good,although having nice staff and the use of oxygen would have a made a bad thing a bit better.My wife was put into the very back seat on a flight to Vancouver(didnt recline) and it was no fun. I dont think AIR is particularly good at comfort but I suppose their crew are a positive---Its really how all that stacks up against the price and what you get for paying more. Those domestics can be pretty good if you shop around---its usually who has a special at the time you want to go I reckon.
Ive found that being able to choose seats when going to Thailand with MAL was almost like being bumped up a class--we were able to get the 2 seats by window close to the front.
The first time we just got on the computer and choose the seats free--the second(last winter)they wanted $50 but when I called flight cr where I bought the tickets,they did it for free(?)---long and the short is that its far more important on the longer hauls,but even 2 hrs can be a long time in a really bad seating situation or as in more than one case,your freezing. (Im wondering if the planes they(AIR) use on the Auck-Vancouver route have issues with the dispersal of uniform heat throughout the plane(its happened twice)
I realize Rogers experience was not pleasant, but I never personally worry much about seats on short hauls-- Long hauls are much more important---The wife just recently made a dash to Montreal and back with United and reported it was a similar experience to AIR for a fraction of the price---Im not a big fan of United ,but there you go (saving a grand was handy)---no choosing seats though for either.

So...he must still have to put up with "infantile nappy statism" on longer haul flights because he didn't buy one with decent range :D
I have to say though that the current AIR inflight safety video is a very lame and weak attempt at humour...one wonders if Chris has been trimming the creative budget...
BTW Queenstown is as lovely as ever...apart from the number of people there which is barely tolerable even in the so called off season. My top tip to get away from the maddening crowds in the off season, go for a drive up the access road to the Remarkables ski field, stunning views and some much needed peace and tranquillity. If you're really keen walk up it ! (Disc the hound is not that keen)
I see oil is still super cheap. We must be due for a hedging update soon.
shouldn't AIR have released it latest operating stats by now?
Probably some time this week and we might get a fuel hedge update too if we're lucky.
:lol: :lol:
Can't be that hard to record the various months accurately...surely ! Message to Chris, I am available to consult with you on fuel hedging strategies @ $500K per annum, such consultation will include advice on the actual number of days in each month :D
Disc Presently don't own but the hound is known to love big dividend feeds so its only a matter of time before I buy back in, (technically if you add back the 25 cps special divvy the chart looks quite good)..
Meanwhile in a dimly light room somewhere deep in the basement a statistician awakes, looks around at his still comatose colleagues and then notices the date.
"Oh fish-hooks" he says "How we are going to explain it this time?"

Back at $2 and looks like to break out once that level is breached....
