22 hours later we consider ourselves relative experts on flying with a bubba. So what did we learn?
- 22 hours on plane is a very long time. With a baby it is a v v v long time.
- Babies do not sleep in the lovely bassinets provided by the airline. They do however make wonderful mini bar storage systems.
- On the plus side air hostesses seem amenable to dishing out wine on demand in sympathy.
- The schmuck that designed the Airbus A380 did not have kids. Thanks for the high res. TV screen above the baby seats. Here’s to a wired bubba!
- Queue jumping seems to be perfectly acceptable when you have a baby.
- Attempting to watch a film on the in-flight entertainment system when travelling with a baby is futile.
Anyway, we made it to Auckland without any major meltdowns and only slight crankiness from the jet lag. So with a good nights horizontal sleep (as opposed to being bent double in an economy class airline seat) we’ll be all set for exploring Auckland tomorrow.

Hi there
You don t know how jalouse we are. To the question brilliant or stupid…. only you will be able to answer it. On my opinion it is the best time to or far later as kids in Sophie’s an Maxes ages wouldn’t be as easy to handle. So be are in Mallorca where weather is about to change and to warm days with building sand castles changed to windy and a little bit rainy. Hope to get more time to reply at home. Enjoy and take care in Malborough…..Lucy maight find some good wines. Till soon

I know all about JB and his military precision packing from our Africa cycle trips. But I think banning your hairdryer is a step too far ! I mean who wants to go out to dinner with a scarecrow?
