You might wonder "hand?? What about e-tickets??" Well, seems like Air New Zealand is not much into that, so they sent me (and Jeanette, the Master student from the Social Anthropology department at SU, who will partake in this journey with me) a small booklet with all the tickets!
Waste of paper? Environmental concerns? Pfff... We are taking planes for over 30 hours, so we're beyond that! And the feeling of having those printed tickets on my hand... priceless!!!
So for the curious here is my itinerary (Jeanette flies on the same date as me but returns on the 3rd of March rather than the 24th):
