So good on them.
Anyway, back to trends.
Air New Zealand saying the demand for premium is strong.
This is what I keep trying to tell you.
And they're seeing huge numbers.
Not just numbers of passengers, but numbers of dollars from those passengers, particularly from America.
And it's premium.
It's front of the plane.
It's business class.
Honeymoon travel, young couples, their word, eye-watering.
Eye-watering is the money they're spending.
So they're taking whatever it is, 52, 3, 4 American cents, and they're turning into...
you know, a New Zealand dollar.
Huge chunk of 55-plus demographics.
They're outliving their ability to spend their wealth.
They've got more money than they know what to do with, for goodness sake.
So you can't argue with it.
Nine away from nine.
Now, there's a strong link between hearing and memory, and more and more people are starting to understand that.
