My trip from Palmerston North to Auckland #4

On the 30th of September at 6:00 pm we got a call from Air New Zealand saying your flight has been delayed three hours. As soon as my dad heard it on the phone he stressed because the flight to Cairns would have been at 9:15am but the Palmerston North flight to Auckland was 30 minutes after the flight to Cairns would have taken off, so we had to think and problem solve what we could do.

Air New Zealand called us back for good news. The good news was that there was a flight today that could go to Auckland that would arrive at 12:00AM and also that Air New Zealand would pay us the flight. They also payed us a hotel at Auckland to stay for the next day.

We arrive at Palmerston North Airport and go straight to the check in for our flight to Auckland. It was 9:00PM when we arrived at the airport I was so drowsy and was about to collapse to the ground and sleep. We settle ourselves in the Koru lounge of Palmy. We hop down to the gate to get ready to hop into the plane for Auckland. We cross the tarmac to enter into the plane and the flight attendant greets me nicely aboard the plane. We had some safety procedure from the flight attendant before takeoff. When the plane is lined up with the runway the two propellors spin like blades spinning at millions of km per hour. The plane speeds up and the big metal bird flies and goes up into the clouds and vanishes without a single trace.

The Captain announces that the plane is going to descend to the runway of Auckland and had to turn off all electronic devices and stow them in the over head locker and to put tray tables back in possession. I hear the big aluminum wheels hop out of the planes wings and getting ready to land.

I see the beautiful lights of Auckland and the sky tower it looked stunning from the view of the window. I see the runway in the distance and every second coming towards it. The plane lands smoothly on the runway of Auckland international Airport. We arrive in the domestic terminal of Auckland Airport and wait in the parking area and wait for a taxi to pick us up to go to the hotel.

The taxi drives us off to Manakau to the Mercure hotel and sleep to get ready for the next day.  Image result for air new zealand atr 72
