For those of us who took advantage of the mistake CNZ fare to New Zealand. At time of check-in in SYD, you will receive an invitation to Arrivals Suite. Although my final destination was SFO, I did go to the Arrival Suite in SFO just out of curiosity.
My mother and friends flown in XC fare class to or through SFO from an international city in Asia, they never received an invitation to Arrivals Suite.
