Business Class, The Only Way To Fly

On my last trip, Sydney and Christchurch, due to a shortage of crew in Business Class I was asked if I would like to work in that cabin. It was great only having 42 passengers instead of the 300+ that I'm used to. Everything was served on fine china and I had to use each passengers name every time I spoke to them. The most tricky part was learning all the wine names! The crew bonded really well on this trip. We all wanted to do the same things so it made decisions really easy. I managed to see my brother Matt in Sydney too. I though New Zealand was amazing. The people are really friendly and the scenery is breathtaking. Below is the whole trip in photos...

The 'Christchurch Cone'. No idea what it's there for!

In the centre of the main shopping street are these wavy 'beds'. There were people asleep on them during the middle of the day as we walked past. Here's a picture of me and Nadia trying them out for size.

The gang on the bus we took to the cable car in Christchurch. L-R Me, Raschel, Donna (Philippines), Nadia and JD (Pakistan).

When we got back to Sydney we went to Coogee beach. Here's Dave and Joumana with my brother Matt.

The QE2 was in Sydney at the same time as we were!

The crew in our Pyjamas. As we do a nonstop 14 hour flight from Dubai to Sydney there are beds in the cargo hold for the crew to have a 3 hour sleep. The 2 girls at the front of the picture are Christanty (Indonesia) and Martina (India). Martina was also on my first trip to Melbourne.
