Inaugural flights

While I missed out on the inaugural flight that I really, really wanted - the first A380 passenger flights (on Singapore Airlines) - I did get a consolation prize of sorts. For in the past couple of weeks I have had 3 inaugural flights, one of which was the first flight in a network not just for a route.

They reminded me how much fun inaugural flights can be, but also that they are difficult to plan around if you have a busy schedule. The network inaugural changed both date and route with little notice which took some effort for me to rearrange my plans to make the new start. I made it with just a few hours to spare.

Auckland to Vancouver on Air NZ.

Pacific Blue inaugural domestic flight in New Zealand (on any route) - Auckland to Wellington.

Later the same day the inaugural Pacific Blue Wellington to Auckland flight.

None of them match in the slightest the razzamatazz of the Singapore Airlines A380 inaugural.
