It was a bright sunny day in LCCT Sepang. Reach there four hours early than my schedule flight to Melbourne. Bought the ticket during a promo and got it at RM199 one way (excluding luggage + insurance). Had breakfast at the so called free tax McDonald's which happened to be among the most expensive outlet in Malaysia. 1245hours we boarded the big bird Airbus330. Its a long 8 hours flight to Melbourne and again i get to see the most amazing sunset view from high latitude. The ride was smooth and reached Melbourne International Airport at 2330hours. The weather as expected. Cool crisps air welcome all three of us. Had our declared item checked at the customs and we spent our night on the cold steel bench in the airport.
Next day, flight out from Melbourne to Christchurch ETD at 1200hours by Jetstar. We had a few bumps upon check-in due to our overweight luggage. Reminder, Jetstar really adhere to their rule and the staff isn't making it any easier. Finally issue was resolve and I manage to go thru clearance with my 60L backpack as a hand luggage.
Arrived Christchurch 3 hours later, 1700hours (two hours different from Melbourne). Again, had our declared items checked at we gained clearance without any item being confiscated (serunding agromas selamat! 2 pack plak tu). We lingered around the arrival hall, while each of us had a chance to get free hot shower, facilities provided by the airport. Had our dinner at the departure hall and we spent our second night in another airport. As the sun sets, the temperature dropped as well. Christchurch airport did allocate a space in the arrival hall for passenger to crash. As long as I got to lie down on a carpeted ground that is good enough. I had 4 layers of clothes, a blanket and a sleeping bag which can accommodate till 15degrees lowest. Had a good rest despite the sliding door is about 5meter away from my spot. We were accompanied by few other travelers as well.
