Old WLG domestic terminal, the big scales, the lino floor, the newsagents in the middle, Koru Club upstairs. Going back MUCH further, the overseas departure area in the corner with very few amenities, and passengers boarding DC-8s by steps. First Class on DC8s with sheepskin seat covers (First Class had those for many years).

10 channel loop of two sets of programmes in Business and First Class only on 747s and 767s. Economy still had the big screen. Bear in mind this was the case until 2003/2004 (and the 767s for longer until they were refurbished).

Business Class fruit and cheese course served by trolley service, able to choose your own selection of both.

Multi-course hot meals on absurdly short domestic flights in Business Class. I recall flying WLG-CHC (connecting onto CHC-SIN in business and then Swissair SIN-ZRH) and being served a continental breakfast and as the descent started being offered steamed salmon with a cake. On another occasion as Gold Elite, I was Op-Upd to business WLG-CHC because the flight was full in economy. I also recall flying WLG-CHC in business (again for the same route) and the only other passengers in business were one Winston Peters and Lockwood Smith. NZ conveniently seated Winston next to me and Lockwood on the other side of the aisle. Before take off, Winston asked to move seats and went two rows in front, I felt snubbed

Flying on a 737-200 PMR-WLG once and WLG-NPE a few times (with full meal service)

Old NZ AKL lounge short lived Chinese massage service available for Business Premier and Elite passengers.

Old UA lounge at LHR T3 with First Class lounge for NZ First Class (that lounge is now BA)
