Tracey Bond flies from Auckland to Fiji on Air New Zealand's flight NZ52.
The plane: A Boeing 777-300.
The seat: 49C. By the time I got around to checking in online there were not many seats to choose from, and this flight was pretty chocka. As a Koru Club member this was a preferred seat four rows back from the emergency exit and not too far from the toilets.
How full? For a Wednesday before Easter long weekend, the plane was full to bursting.
Price: Seat and bag $638 bought during a promotion.
