Well,
I am back Stateside and interested to read your replies to this thread.
A couple of answers:
1. Yep, this is rumor only - offered to me voluntarily by a NZ lounge staffer. I too am looking for it to be substantiated by another FTer (esp one who gets the information from Annie) or by a UA announcement.
2. Is there WiFi in the NZ Lounge? Most definitely. For at least the last 4 months I would say.
Please keep us informed any of you who hear more about the truth of the info I received.
