Boarding has begun at Christchurch International Airport on this fine morning for our flight to Sydney, service on Emirates’ fifth freedom flight aboard the A380-800.
Smooth rotation out of RW20 heading straight out into our initial climb.
At around FL100 we turn heading west towards Australia.
Last view of the New Zealand coastline in the back with a thin layer of high altitude clouds forming.
As we level out at FL400 we sit back, relax and enjoy the premium service on board this 3 hour flight.
We fell asleep and missed half of the descent and we wake up to the view of the Sydney bay area in the back.
On short final on RW16R.
Very smooth touchdown on RW16R.
Finally parked at the International terminal after landing 20 minutes earlier than expected.
Overall nice, scenic and unique route.
