I just found a load of photographs I took out the window from an ANZ flight a few years back.

They are not very good quality, but are still worth a look if you'd like to see some aerial views of the South Island.

The flight was from Osaka (RJBB) to Christchurch (NZCH) in an Air New Zealand Boeing 767.

8. After an aircraft swap at NZCH, I got onto a 747 and flew to NZAA where I took this shot as we rolled up to our gate.

Yes indeed it was!

Only about 1/3rd of the pax from Osaka continued on to Auckland, so it was great having a whole 747 with hardly anyone else aboard. I walked all around, went upstairs to business class and everything!

I got some amazing photos out the window as well, flying over the Alps again, then past Cape Farewell, Mount Taranaki, and descent into AKL. Unfortunately, the camera (an old Kodak one) screwed up when I was previewing the shots and I lost all the 747 ones..
