[@claudiakayla7097]

I want to fly on a plane again after listening to this 🙂

[@DavidWarrior360]

Pretty quick takeoff. And that takeoff sound! LOVE IT!❤

[@DavidWarrior360]

@royalairmaroc001 Yeah I could tell by that big swirl on the engine cone

[@worldfamous_404]

Wowsers! that takeoff was badass!!

[@v1spotter]

Now that is an awesome takeoff!

[@euro95.]

What a beautiful island! So incredibly far from where I live unfortunately (Netherlands)

[@gregbooth1551]

You should visit...Raro is so good.

息子の12歳の誕生日に、2週間程滞在しました。 ラロトンガもアイツタキも今まで訪れた国の中で、一番素敵な場所でした👍️ クック諸島の人々に感謝です‼️

[@nz1aviation]

クック諸島はとても美しい場所です。 ご滞在を楽しんでいただけてうれしいです。

[@madokariki2726]

Meitaki atupaka for your visit to beautiful Araura.❤❤❤ Glad to hear your family enjoyed our Islands.😊

[@neilhiggins350]

The worst flight of my life was from Tahiti to Auckland in an Air NZ 787. The seating was so jam-packed that I literally couldn’t move after we were seated. I couldn’t wait to get off that plane after we landed.

[@nz1aviation]

Sounds like an unpleasant experience for sure.

[@treypohe4593]

That was beautiful

[@Moneytane1976]

Going in 2 months and can't wait.

[@nz1aviation]

Raro is a top place. Enjoy your trip!

[@gregbooth1551]

why going west?? Trade winds are easterlies haha! Cannot wait to fly on a dreamliner again. Loved Raro...

[@nz1aviation]

Was a westerly that day 😉. Raro is indeed a great spot.

[@destinationaviationhq]

[@Ashraf300991]

Whats the flight duration of RAR > AKL?

[@nz1aviation]

About 4 and a half hours.

[@JTRAIN]

This is why the Dreamliner is the best aircraft. I hope that Air New Zealand will be looking at releasing some 787-10’s to the fleet

[@KimKimGregory]

Absolutely. They’d be useful for Australia/Pacific and Asia routes

[@JTRAIN]

⁠@@KimKimGregoryit will be also useful for European and American routes

[@AviationGeekNz]

The 10 will be coming to the air NZ fleet in 2024-5 but it would have come earlier if covid wasn't around if you don't believe research 🎉🎉

[@JTRAIN]

@@AviationGeekNz ok. That would be great.

[@AviationGeekNz]

Quickest reply ever!!!!!

[@chriskiwi2601]

Tailwind takeoff??

[@nz1aviation]

No. Westerley wind that day.

[@chriskiwi2601]

​@nz1aviation looked like a tail wind component to me but never been there so I'm no expert on Rarotonga.

[@nz1aviation]

I’m no expert either 😂, but would have thought taking off with the wind would be dangerous at the best of times, let alone Rarotonga with a relatively short runway and lagoon drop off at the western end.

[@manuelvalencia9407]

Did it go to LAX?

[@nz1aviation]

AKL.

[@MelissaRodden]

I've been to rare in air new zeland

[@milaytube]

rolls royce?

[@nz1aviation]

Indeed. Trent 1000.
