Flight NZ 489 (an Airbus A320) is equally uneventful. No upgrade this time to ‘The Works’ and have to settle for ‘Seat & Bag’. No complimentary movies either but I am seated in row 4 (extra leg room), given a pair or noise-cancelling headphones, as well as an ‘express exit’ pass to use at immigration upon arrival at Sydney airport. I choose water out of a choice of complimentary water, coffee, and tea, and settle into watching ‘The Swimmer’ – a documentary on Ian Thorpe.
