Lining up on RWY16R
After a one minute wait on RWY16R, we were off! I couldn’t believe the A380 on takeoff, I knew it was meant to be quiet but I couldn’t believe how quiet it really was, you could barely hear the engines make a noise as full thrust was applied!
And we’re up! Passing the beach.
Left turn towards NZ, my favourite photo from the flight.
Cruising at 41000 feet
Today’s flight
I didn’t really use the IFE too much; I watched an episode of two and a half men and watched the flight map and tail cam for the rest of the flight, as well as looking out the window at my amazing view.
About halfway through the flight Josh and I decided to get some cabin shots.

We then entered some turbulence and had to return to our seats. Pretty soon we had commenced our descent.
