Hi Scadman
AKL lounge has been revamped recently and has a great staff
I always enjoy my time there !
The Trans-Tasman flights are very good - especially in F.
Main reason being the Crew enjoys the Short hop so if the cabin is not full you will have a blast !
Depending on the cabin load , you may want to ask about the Shower Time Slots to get your preference.
You can do this whilst enjoying your Welcome Drink of Dom
If you're interested you can have a read of some Trip Reports (TRs) to see what you can expect
Cheers,
