As a child I was fascinated by the world map and used to imagine what those far off countries would be like to visit. I caught the travel bug from that early age and haven't stopped travelling.

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. This will see the pause to direct flights from Auckland to Hobart and Seoul from April 2024.
P&O TO INTRODUCE STARLINK CONNECTIONS

From snapping your friends or uploading your cruise experiences on Instagram and Facebook, internet connection is a necessity. As more and more people choose to cruise around the world, demand for faster Wi-Fi is a must. P&O have a solution. P&O are introducing Starlink across all fleets, with Pacific Adventure and Pacific Encounter already offering the improved internet. Pacific Explorer is expected to to feature this later in the month. Starlink, the satellite internet project by SpaceX.

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.
DELTA TOUCHES DOWN IN AUCKLAND FOR THE FIRST TIME

Delta Airlines, one of the biggest American airline brands touches down for the first time in history in Auckland on the 30th October as the airlines introduced a new direct flight from Los Angeles to Auckland.

QANTAS ALLOWS "NEIGHBOUR FREE" UPGRADE FROM NEW ZEALAND

The Australian airline is now trialing a new feature which allows passengers flying on trans-Tasman flights alongside flights to the US and Singapore to purchase an empty seat next to them. The trial period is undisclosed, however, following an evaluation of the trial, more international routes may see this option become available. The way it works: Passenger's on eligible flights will receive a notification 2 days before departure offering this upgrade to "reserve" the seat next to them. As it's not guaranteed, if the seat is sold after "reserving," the passenger is refunded.
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 Vietnam

Antony Boomer

I had been wanting to take my boys somewhere extraordinary for ages. We have previously traveled as a family well worn routes through North America and Australia but now my wife and I thought it was time to challenge everything they thought they knew about the world. We decided on Vietnam in the hope it would provide a physical, emotional and sensory experience the boys would never forget. Our journey would take us firstly to Singapore for a gentle introduction to Asia then from the north of Vietnam near the Chinese border south to the Mekong Delta.

Postcard from South Africa

Rachel Carr

This was a trip of a lifetime and the experience enjoyed was difficult but words and pictures don't do it justice.

Postcard from Alaska

Rachel Carr

Alaska is an amazing destination if you love the outdoors (hiking, biking, canoeing, fishing) wildlife (bears, moose, whales, otters etc.) and of course the amazing scenic (fjords, glaciers, forest, mountains)...

Postcard from Japan

Rachel Carr

Japan surprised me in so many ways, it wasn't a destination I first thought about travelling to but that all changed. It is amazing how a country/culture can blend...

Postcards from Vietnam

Stephanie McAuliffe

I flew with Air New Zealand and Singapore Airlines to Vietnam via Singapore. We took advantage of the Singapore Airlines Stopover package. This package entitles you to a range of attractions for free, like the Gardens by the Bay including the Cloud Forest and Flower Dome.
