Try to get upgraded to Business Class, when I went i got a free model of a Malaysia 777-200. To be honest though, 777's are my least favorite aircraft, they are old and should have easily been phased out by better aircraft by now, maybe the 787 might do the job!

Old? Didn't the 777-300 first fly in about 1998? The 747-400 first flight was in the late 80's.

Yeah the 777 isn't old. The 747's been flying much longer. The first 777 entered service in 1995 so they aren't old.

You realise there is an in flight entertainment system it just not on demand.

The Air NZ site states there is on demand entertainment for all passengers. Oh and Duckman, the 777 isn't old or rubbish at all, in fact it's one of the most advanced Boeing aeroplanes around at the moment in terms of avionics and usefulness on long haul.

777, basically the top Boeing in efficiency, range, speed (although a little slower than the 747 afaik), passenger comfort, and much more. I've flown on them AKL-LAX and back with UAL, very nice aircraft. :thumbup:

The Air NZ menu system would have been thoroughly rejected if I'd been involved in SQA. To describe it as slow is an insult to slow things. Menu organisation is... quirky, which compounds the slowness. The controller misses probably two out of three keypresses. If you get frustrated (very easy) and start bashing the keypad, its buffer overflows, and the whole thing crashes back to Windows. (thats Windows CE, btw). You then have to get the steward to go and reboot it.

777 and 747 both the same from that standpoint.

Something to do if I get very bored, at least

Sorry about my comment about 777s, it's just a personal feeling. I didn't literally mean OLD, just that I hate flying them for whatever reason. Just a personal opinion, nothing to lose your temper over
