Garry and I have just arrived at LAX. Two flights down, two to go before our journey is over. We left Cancun shortly after 1.10pm local time today, transfered in Dallas, before finally arriving in Los Angeles an hour ago. Ahead are another 13 hours of flying to reach Tauranga, New Zealand - our final destination for today (or should I say 'tomorrow' - well Monday actually - we'll lose Sunday altogether when we cross the dateline later this evening).
As was our experience last year, the scheduled aircraft taking us out of LAX has been subsituted for another aircraft. However, we're a little more optimistic that we'll have Skybeds this time. Last year Qantas substituted aircraft and we lost our Skybed flight altogether. The inconvenience was marginally offset by A$600 in travel vouchers that Qantas mailed afterwards. These will get us to Zurich next January for a friend's 40th birthday. Fingers crossed we'll get a good night's sleep. It's already been a long day.
