I travel to NZ at least once a year to see family. I’ve flown a variety of airlines (Air NZ, Air France, British Airways, Quantas) but experiment no longer since I flew Singapore Airlines.
For me they have everything going for them. I love to fly via Singapore. As a stopover destination it’s great but if you need to stay in the airport it’s lovel. Clean, fragrant (!), easy to navigate, good food. It even has a hotel you can book by the hour. It’s called The Transit hotel. Unlike travelling via LA you don’t need to identify your luggage or anything annoying like that.
The planes are good too. They have recently upgraded a lot of their fleet but even before they were good.
The staff can’t do enough for you. I lost an earring and two stewardesses took 20 minutes to find it!
The food is lovely. I can’t tell you if the English versions are nice as why fly an Asian airline and not eat their food? They do a lovely spicy egg breakfast, good curried dishes, noodles etc. Of course vegetarians and vegans etc are catered for.
