Godwits fly 11000km across the Pacific from Alaska to Farewell Spit in 9 days. It is the longest non stop migratory journey of any bird in the world.

Every now and then I pull it out just to page through it for the wow factor...

And Godwits probably wont lose their luggage or cancel their flight.
