I'm writing this as I fly over some point of the pacific - approaching pago pago if the inboard map is correct. It's 5:05 hours and 4515km till we arrive in sydney. Unfortunately I'm still on mountain time which means that it's 2:31 in Sydney, 4:31 in new Zealand and 8:31 in Missoula.

Luxury travel has some great perks. My den-sfo flight was first class. All 8 of us. From the free drinks to the 'snack' provided to the hot towel on arrival!

I basically arrived at the gate for my Sydney flight as it was boarding. Top deck business class. I ended up in 13A instead of the J seat. The new business class seats are in pods of 2 alternating facing forward and backward. 13 a&b are backward. There are no problems with stowage - the a and k seats have side stowage bins - my backpack, boots and extras went into one bin with space to spare. The b and j seats have overhead bins - one for each seat.
