This is my first post on this forum.
I always liked aviation, civil aviation in particular.
I have ever planned holidays in order to "visit" some particular flights.
In July 2003 I crowned my passion, the longest flight from my home town: Rome to Auckland.
Probably I kept boarding passes, I have to search them: if I find something, I will update this thread.
It was exciting and tiring at the same time. I tried to sleep as much as possible. From London to Los Angeles I slept about 7 hours. From Los Angeles to Auckland I slept 7 hours more.......but there were still seven hours of flight !!! The longest 7 hours in my life
The return trip was even longer: it started in Christchurch, about 2 hours of flight to Auckland. Unfortunately there was a technical problem on the B747 prepared for my flight to Los Angeles: I had to wait 5 hours in Auckland. Furthermore, I was going to miss the connection flight from London to Rome
Indeed, I ran like an olympic athlete in Heathrow: I changed my flight and entered in the plane while the flight assistants were closing the doors !!!
