bell123321 Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Hopefully it will come before you go! Which airline did you decide to use in the end? I am really looking forward to November for when I go but so much to do beforehand! Just think in a weeks time your be in NZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BritChickx Posted June 21, 2012 Author Share Posted June 21, 2012 I know we'll be about an hour or so away from landing in Christchurch, we went with Singapore in the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bell123321 Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 I've heard Singapore are good, I am off with Malaysia airlines. (Flew with them to Oz last year and were the cheapest this time for me) Thanks for the encouragement, I am going to start applying for jobs in August otherwise hopefully it will not be long after arriving. Just saving like mad at the moment. I will look forward to reading about your travels (will give me ideas on places to visit ). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BritChickx Posted June 21, 2012 Author Share Posted June 21, 2012 Cool! We found singapore cheapest atm? And I flew with them last time they were good. I'm hoping me and paul get to sit together on the plane otherwise it'll be an even longer flight being stuck with randomers lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last time I booked with an agent I got to choose my seats for free but I looked yesterday and I have to pay to choose seats this time (I booked directly with airline this time). I have my fingers crossed that you can sit together you would think if you made the booking together they would automatically sit you together as its long haul?

bell123321 Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 I am not looking forward to sitting next to two randomers....I can imagine my head falling onto their shoulder or something or vice versa :laugh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BritChickx Posted June 21, 2012 Author Share Posted June 21, 2012 Yeah we booked with an agency and have to pay extra to choose seats so we haven't chosen, when we check in we're gonna ask if we can sit together, but like you we just assume they sit you together if you book 2 seats at one time? It's not too bad sitting on your own just no fun especially if the next person smells haha, I sat on my own going to Oz last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bell123321 Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 I'm really hoping to sit on my own. Hopefully the plane won't be to full. That's annoying that the agent is charging for seats. I know on short haul you have to pay to be able to sit with one another, but I haven't heard of issues sitting next to one another on long haul. I guess just arrive early for check in to make sure it's not an issue :biggrin: Can you imagine that sitting next to a smelly person or someone snorring for 24 hours! ARGH :arghh: lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fifi69 Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 Britchix you are totally an inspiration Myself and my OH looked to do what your doing years ago before kids ago but bottled it. Now here we are moving ot Oz (oh already there) myself and two daughters 16 and 18 going next month. If they can evan grasp 10% of what you have done and are doing my heart will sing. Life passes you by so so quick. If it is what you want to do grab grab grab every opportunity. Wish i could bottle you and send you round all secondary schools in the uk. Wishing you all the bestest of luck and happy happy travels and if your ever in Perth and need a room please give me a shout Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BritChickx Posted June 25, 2012 Author Share Posted June 25, 2012 Thank fifi! Your very kind, i'm still crapping myself haha, but yes you're right when do people get opportunities like this? I reckon i'll love living in Aus as much as travelling around it. At least you're going at long last now good luck with everything your end, and yeah if we're in perth I will! i said goodbye to my family last night and this morning, and 2 of my friends came round to say bye aswell, I've told everyone they have to save the pennies to come see us! If not we're gonna aim to come back christmas next year, we'll see how things go. Stacey, my family haven't mentioned anything negative, think they've accepted it now..well they have to cos i've left! lol. What's happened with nz then? You got more offers in aus instead?

Im sure theyre really excited for you, its a great opportunity and im sure they'll come for their holidays! we just decided it wasnt a good idea to go with that employer, the wage wasnt enough to gain a PR visa and it would of been a bit of a struggle to even live on especially if i couldnt find work straight away. And we were told by people there that the work has completely slowed down and immigration are hardly approving any visas for christchurch at the moment because of it, we just couldnt afford to pay all that money for the visas, medicals, flights etc for them to be declined. they didnt tell us about that because they arent paying anything so its not really their problem. we'll see if he gets a interview with BGC before we decide what to do next Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BritChickx Posted June 25, 2012 Author Share Posted June 25, 2012 Ahh, sounds like you did the right thing, as much as you're dying to go out there you need to go with the right employer and area where the work is! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
