CHRISTCHURCH is about a 3hour flight across the Tasman fromthe Eastern seaboard of Australia. Jetstar, Virgin Blue, Qantas andEmirates each offer direct flights toChristchurch most days of the weekfrom hubs incl Sydney, Brisbane,Melbourne and the Gold Coast. ‘The Garden City’ is perfect forexploring by foot because the citycentre and immediate surroundingareas are entirely flat. At the centre of the city is CathedralSquare, appropriately named afterthe ChristChurch Cathedral at itsheart, which dates back to 1867. Nearby is the Christchurch ArtGallery, the Canterbury Museum,the Tramway loop and the SouthernEncounter Aquarium & Kiwi House. Outside the city, attractions includethe Christchurch Gondola whichlifts passengers 500m to itssummit that overlooks PegasusBay, the Pacific Ocean and acrossthe Canterbury Plains with views tothe Southern Alps. The International Arctic Centre isanother ‘must-do’ attraction. The George hotel makes an idealbase for Christchurch visitors - see www.thegeorge.com for details.

JAPAN Airlines has reduced thesize of its spoons in order to helpcut its fuel bill. The London Telegraph this weekreported on a number of cost-saving cutlery related initiativesincluding another move byNorthwest to not include spoonswith its meals unless required. “When you are talking about ajumbo jet with 400 people onboard, being served two to threemeals, this can save a fewkilos,” said IATA environmentaldirector Paul Steele. “You work out how much fuelthat consumes over a year, andyou can be talking about aconsiderable amount of money.”

RAIL aficionados will enjoystaying in this accommodation. US firm Xanterra Parks &Resorts, which operatesproperties at several Americannational parks, has bought 26rail cars which belonged to aluxury train operator whichclosed down last year.

Singapore Airlines last weekbecame the first A380 operatorat CDG, with French flag carrierAir France yet to officiallyannounce a launch date for itsA380s, which are in final stagesof assembly at the Airbus factory.
