On my recent Air New Zealand flight from Los Angeles to London Heathrow, passengers stopped to take photos of the plane before boarding.
At first I thought someone famous was boarding my flight, then I noticed the unusual artwork, on the plane which explained why passengers went wild with their cameras.
Even the restrooms on the Boeing 777 had wallpaper (I’m talking coach) made to look like you were sitting in a library. Books shelves with photos of book spines surrounded you.
The flight lasted 10 and a half hours and I managed to sleep for four.
My friend Maggie, met me at Heathrow for lunch. I met Maggie at Chris Guillebeau’s first conference in Portland, and we have remained friends since then.
My flight landed at Terminal 1, and in order to transfer to Terminal 5, we caught the underground.
After a few hours I caught a British Airways flight to Copenhagen. Imagine a hot dog stand while you wait for your luggage. They have this at Copenhagen airport.

Sonia, I hope you have a wonderful time with Maggie. I had to laugh at the image of the plane. There’s a domestic service in South Africa – Kulula – that does the same. And they offer the passengers face painting, in the colors of their logo – it’s such fun to fly with them, the children love it.
Have a great time.
Belinda.
Belinda,
When do they offer face painting; during the flight? Very interesting.
