After this flight home, its obvious why Air NZ and Auckland Airport are top 10 in the world and Aerolineas and Ezeiza Airport are not even close!
- Walking to gate and everyone gets lost at the same point. Signage anyone...?
- Bitten by a mosquito
- I get to passport control after waiting 20 mins and get told I have to fill out a form that I didn't know about... great, go to the back of the line...
- Why's everyone so serious...?
- Plane is delayed. Surprise. But no announcements about why plane is delayed. C+
- Surprise security search after passing through the gate! What!? Who does searches there? Great. So everyone who emptied their bottles for blasé security #1, then filled them up, now has to gulp it all down again! And its such a thorough search, it takes 45 mins to get everyone on the plane! I just hope they are as thorough with the engines... since this must be the most isolated (virtually over Antarctica) flight in the world!
- We're taking off – should our seats be upright? Tray tables stowed? Seat belts on? No...? Ok...
- Old seats, average projector for movies, staff manner blah, need water? Go get it. C- Why do governments run airlines? Its a bad idea.
- We're landing - “please stow your tray...” Boom – we just landed. B-
- Smiling faces
- Sounds of Tui
- Maori art and sculpture
- Free chocolate
- Kiwi accents! Ah.... Like a hot shower after a hard tramp or a soft warm bed after enduring a storm. Everyone understands my English!
- Special e-passport processing for Kiwis and Aussies. Oooh cool. It looks like something out of a scifi film. Scan your passport, take ticket, insert ticket into machine, look at machine, you're identified, off you go! Sweet as! A-
- People asking if I need help.Imagine that?! A+
- $10 for 1 hour of wifi?! Thats 30 pesos!! Lame. I've just come from the land of plentiful free wifi!
- Saw more cultures in 10 mins than I have in 2 months!
- Paid with plastic more times in 20 mins than I have in 2 months!
- Bought deodorant using my phone! A
- Free drinking water. Whoa. What a novelty, and its right next to pricey bottled water... stoopid Kiwis!

It sounds to me you're trying to compare apples with oranges
Haha - yeap.
It wasn't objective analysis thats for sure! Just my dull, half-awake thoughts after 35 hours of traveling... I was going to write a disclaimer at the bottom about my mental state after leaving at 3am and traveling for 13 hours... but I was too tired!
Kia ora mate, no worries
