ENGINE ISSUES CAUSE 2 YEAR DELAYS FOR AIR NEW ZEALAND
In July this year, engine manufacturer Pratt and Whitney announced that 700 planes across the globe need to be inspected. Air New Zealand has 17 Airbus A320 and A321 NEO's which fly to Australia, Pacific Islands and other domestic routes need to be inspected. Chief executive Greg Foran said most customers are still likely to fly on the same day however, some international flights will move a day either side of their original booking date. A refund will be available to the 150,000 affected passengers if their changed service doesn't suit there itineraries.

EXCITING INNOVATIONS TO THE WAY WE TRAVEL
With the world reopening and travel is becoming more attractive than ever. Innovations are set in place to make the travelling experience so much better. Imagine not having to talk to anyone, show your passport to anyone, just a streamlined experience. Facial recognition systems, AI integration, robotic logistics, all to create a smooth and streamlined experience. We are also seeing hints of potential supersonic travel being re-introduced since Concorde's failure in the early 2000s. These exciting innovations are a matter of when, rather than if. Changi International Airport is taking these innovations and aiming to implement them in early 2024. Can we see the same for Auckland Airport? Definitely. -

SINGAPORE'S NEWLY RENOVATED CYCLE PATH
Planning a trip to Singapore? The newly renovated cycle path is a must-see. It's called the Singapore-Kranji railway and now you can enjoy a bike ride through Singapore on one of the countries most historic features which debuted 120 years ago. The final train journey operated in 2011 and it was then closed until it was revitalised into a bike path for locals and tourists to soak up the unique history of Singapore. The route passes through Singapore's beautiful wildlife to the urban infrastructure.
Our travel stories
Postcard from Mexico
In 2021-22 I spent 4 months travelling around Mexico, after what was meant to be a 3 week trip on the way to California! I honestly wasn't prepared for what an incredible time it would be.
Postcard from Egypt
Egypt was a dream come true for me! My obsession started as a child, in awe during history classes on Ancient Egypt. To actually walk the streets, swim in the River Nile and see the monuments I'd had visions of for most of my life was a feeling beyond words!
Sao Tome and Principe
Located in West Africa, this stunning Island Nation that is East of Gabon goes fairly unnoticed by most of the world. My love of flags encouraged me to book the ticket when a flight alert came up for a 50% reduction compared to normal fares. The main language here is Portuguese, some people might speak English or French and you can definitely get by with Spanish too.
Postcards from Germany
I have been to Germany a few times but one of my most favourite stand out moments would have to be celebrating Oktoberfest! As accommodation can be crazily expensive, at the time I went with a camping style company that offered a tent, breakfast, dinner and unlimited Sangria and beer at a fantastic price. Who could say no?
Postcards from Sri Lanka
I don't think I've ever been to a country where the locals smile so much and are so willing to do anything they can to help you. I spent 6 weeks volunteering at my friends hostel in Ahangama, a town in the south known for its many surf spots, laid back vibes and fun nights.
