Lord of the Rings Stars greet "Frodo" plane in Los Angeles enroute to NZ premiere
Images taken at Los Angeles Airport as the stars from Lord of the Rings greeted the arrival of Air New Zealand's "Frodo" plane as it touched down in the US.
They were in Los Angeles for the LA premiere of the film - and four stars flew down to today's NZ premiere onboard "Frodo" - they were Elijah Wood, Dominic Monaghan and Billy Boyd plus Karl Urban. It was the Hobbit Express to Middle Earth flying through the night last night to bring the stars down to NZ.
The Air NZ "Frodo" plane left here on Friday with two hobbits onboard and arrived back this morning with three hobbits and a knight inside!
