Auckland Airport - Back in New Zealand

The Singapore Airlines flight leaves on time at 10.25pm. Some TV watching to settle in. The evening supper meal service is a bit of a disaster though. They seem completely unorganised. They almost miss serving our three seats until I tap someone on the shoulder, and then they run out of the chicken option for Sarah. They eventually find her an alternative as she does not like fish. I had the fish and it was pretty awful but I ate it. The cake was nice. Hopefully breakfast is a bit better run and tastier. 🤞

It was now 1am. Time to try and sleep. A quick brush of the teeth and a sleeping pill. See how this goes. We really should buy one of these more modern soft neck pillows. They look much more comfortable than our old blow up plastic things. I awoke at 5.40am and dozed until 6.15am. I slept soundly thanks to the drugs. I just realised KRIS Flyer members have free WiFi on the plane and we recently joined up. Pinged off a quick message to Kate and Emma. 

The breakfast food and service was better than supper thankfully. Scrambled eggs, beans, potatoes, and sausage. The flight into Auckland arrived on time. A quick customs process but a long wait for our bags. Sarah says that's because we checked-in so early. I think Auckland is just a bit useless. 😂

The walk to domestics terminal feels a lot longer than the last time I did it. There seems to be extra parking areas that we now go via. But it was great to stretch our legs. Now just a 2 hour wait for the flight to Nelson. Need to find a late lunch snack and coffee! ☕
