I've been planning on a surprise 5th anniversary AKL-SYD getaway with TG F flights (they have a good price from NZ) but after reading this thread I'm not sure if it is really worth it?

Neither of us have flown first class with any airline (shock! horror! gasp! I hear you all go) so do you think this flight would be a good one to start?

Do NOT expect a toiletry kit of any description.

The BEST part of the entire experience will probably be the Air NZ lounges at each end. Real booze, and free booze.

I personally consider TG First AKL-SYD R/T is NZ$1576 (+tax) is miles overpriced compared to how little points it costs to upgrade either QF or NZ flights, which can be near $1000 less in coach, but your money.
