Having not flown AirNZ for a decade, we thought we would give em a try after realising we had buckleys and none of getting on staff travel to our original destination. Flew on the 73, A320 and 74.
WOW - what a fresh, clean feel - and whether you like the 'bare essentials' or not, the catchy tune seems to put people in a good mood (even the crew who must have heard it for the umteenth time that week - had a giggle as passengers caught on).
It's been so long since i've stepped on airliners that don't smell like egg and arse - with tidy floors and a colour scheme that isn't harsh or bland.
So to step on the 'older two' (73 and 74) and not smell egg, arse or a bucket load of 'nilodor' was refreshing.
