AIR - Air NZ.

Sorry my point was that the US advisory doesn't differentiate between places now (with a WW alert) so according to the advisory the risk is the same everywhere.
Which as you say is wrong.

I see the point you were making.

Hopefully travellers will be able to differentiate -- and see NZ as an ideal, safer, place to travel to.

JT started a trend using the word abyss (and associated it with airbus).

Other references to abyss implies JT has read Peter 2-4

I hope that there are no intended hidden messages when he has used abyss on this thread

I agree--it was over the top--as if they want the rest of the world to be playing their fear game,which is of course exactly what ISIS wants(the US is playing right into their hands,unless there is something serious up).....-but NZ is certainly safer than Europe or Africa atm--and AIRs fundamentals are strong (as long as sales keep up) but its worth noting that fundamentals depend on sales and sales can depend on lots of things.

I still think its worth noting that fear of terrorists can be something the powers to be can use to their advantage--the world is a very different place than pre 9/11 in terms of privacy and individual rights--the real question is do they want to protect or control.(wont harp on anymore about that)

Did we ever get a verdict on Dreamliner vs Airbus?

Thanks Roger--I have'nt had a chance to fly with either--which one do you think I should save up to buy?

Reminds me of the old cliché "Rent that which depreciates and own that which appreciates"
You could have a bob each way on a trip to London next winter. Fly on a deal that involves AIR N.Z. on their new Dreamliner to Singapore and on to London with Singapore Airlines on their A380.
You could stay for a few nights here http://www.marinabaysands.com/ on the way, someone has to suffer such harsh accommodation, might as well be you

Listened to Mr Hosking talk to Mr Luxon this morning on radio, he's good to listen to isn't he Mr Luxon. I think we're in great company and even the CFO got the award.

And I think the Buenos Aires service starts on 1st Dec followed by Houston on 15th Dec.
