Well I went to Dunedin over Labour Weekend and on the way at Christchurch waiting for NZ5351 to Dunedin I got into the Koru Lounge! and it has the best views of the runways ever! (not quite as good as the old viewing deck though - aye Ian!)

And in Dunedin there was an interesting Visitor - Bombardier BD-700-1A10 Global Express which belongs to Wells Fargo Bank in Salt Lake City

on the way home to Nelson my flights went through Christchurch and Wellington so that meant I could get another trip on the O'l 737 before they finally sadly retire from ANZ sad.gif

So here we are!


















These Pics above are all from the Koru Lounge









The Global Express from Salt Lake City




My Aircraft NZ8086 to Christchurch










And Onboard NZ356 to Wellington



Oh and also enjoying the flight!! laugh.gif cheers1.gif

Cheers

The lounge was for Koru members only I got in as a Guest cause one of my mates was there that day and he was a Koru member, you have to go through security too Gates 16-20 i think

It's "owned" by them sure biggrin.gif but apparently it's leased by/for kiwi mega millionaire Graeme Hart.
