Default Can anyone fly a plane?
Cuz flight to New Zealand are quite expensive.

I was tinking we could all hire a plane and if one of you can drive it then we're snorted.

We can split fuel costs and I will provide the entertainment FOC

Call it a team building exercise.

I'm so excited.

No one would Fly the whole Long flight.

You need to go via nations
to cut costs


2 stops £870 (UK to Auckland)

Even cheaper to Fly there with 3 Stops

Then it is not expensive

Weirdly enough, I am in Swinton right now......

He is currently in Texas, having come back from Antigua at weekend (I am not in the slightest bit jealous of his jetset lifestyle when I am in Swinton )

Remember snakes on a plane when Keenan's character flew the plane, just because he played a video game . That was closest they had to 'experience' .

Ditto. Don’t put those poor passengers through something they don’t deserve.

Oh I forgot you can't get a direct flight

We'd need to stop the plane anyway to stretch our legs and have a picnic

I think you'd panic. I need someone who is calm and collected and knows the REGS

It's still expensive,

Also who wants to be on a plane that long. It's 24 hours with just one stop
