The best way to travel to New Zealand | Emirates A380 Business Class

If you're flying between Australia and New Zealand, there's a wonderful way to do it ... on board an Emirates A380 in Business Class.
The experience is simply unbeatable. With lie-flat seats, white linen tablecloths, delectable food and drink (including champagne), a cocktail lounge and a bar in the sky, not to mention the supreme service, the only downside is that you won't want it to end. Pure luxury.
Emirates' Sydney to Christchurch flight operates daily. It's a fifth freedom route (flights between two countries other than the airline's home nation). The Christchurch leg is an add-on to one of their daily flights between Dubai and Sydney.
Emirates is the only airline operating between Australia and New Zealand with a four-class A380. This route is typically operated by Qantas 737s and Air New Zealand A320s, so the A380 outclasses them in every way.
Join me on this three-hour jaunt aboard a beautiful superjumbo across the Tasman to find out what the experience is like – you won't regret it!
