September 9. AKL-LAX, NZ 2, 9.45pm. In the lounge at AKL Intl from around 6.30 pm.
September 27. LAX-AKL, NZ 5, 11.30pm. Hopefully in the new LAX lounge - probably for most of the evening.
In both instances I'll be one of the many anonymous looking middle-aged blokes, however I'll probably be the only one accompanied by my beautiful, a-fair-bit-younger-than-me, wife, and my equally beautiful, and substantially younger again, 20 month old daughter.
October 21. AKL-SFO, NZ 8, 8.20pm.
October 26. SFO-AKL, NZ 7, 9.45pm.
On my own, so at the nearest bar.

Do I feel a trip report coming along...
Am I right in thinking that all on the 23rd your flying AKL-WLG and then 5 1/2 hours later flying WLG-TUO ?
May I suggest that you also load those flights into http://flyertalk.com/flightconnect/ ?
Good luck for getting F spec seats on NZ5

Yes, a little nuts!! I am going to Taupo to surprise my Dad for his 75th on the 24th. Have an old school friend in WLG, so I will go straight there from YVRLAXAKL to have lunch with him, then to TUO to surprise my father the next morning.
I called NZ to reserve seats on NZ5, got 11A, so a good C seat, I asked about rows 1-3, the lady said they were blocked off. I am hoping that as long as I am one of the first 12 to ckin and ask for an F seat, I may get one.

NZ 5 delayed two and a half hours. New LAX lounge is nice, but seens very open, some higher dividers would be nice to create a little more privacy.

Didn't realise this thread existed.
Just did:
NPL - AKL 19NOV
NZ2 AKL - LHR 19NOV
The NZ2 flight was supposed to be a refurbed plane but ended up being a Classic. I've brought this matter the Air NZ's attention through several channels and will post the details of the outcome when all is finalised.
Next one will be:
NZ5 LAX - AKL 11DEC
I'm only Star Alliance Silver at the moment so won't have access to the new lounge, although I'd love to see it. Let me know if you're going to be around and fancy some company over a glass of something lovely.
