I hate flying. I'm not a nervous flyer. I just don't like it. It's boring. This, on the other hand, was a bl00dy marvellous flight. The best flight I've done in years. No, it was the best flight ever.
In spite of the odd bit of turbulence, the pristine blue sky made for view over the mountains and flight throguh the fjord were worth every penny.
I picked the flight up from Queenstown (Actually, they picked me up and brought me to the airport) having made the reservation through the local i-Site - who stock a whole heap of Milford flight options.
