Well, we didn't get upgraded to first class and I think it was because of two things.
1. Since we weren't able to check in online at the NWA web site because our second leg was on Qantas airline and it's not part of the skyteam alliance, we weren't able to put our names on the upgrade list.
B. It was a bad choice to leave on thursday afternoon because now we had to compete with all of the frequent flying consultants who fly home to LA every week.
Nothing I can do about 1, but I should've been aware of B since I fly home from minneapolis every thursday. Oh well, no free grub for us on this leg.
thanks

NZ: Day 0
Well, in a few hours, i'll be on my 4 hour flight to Los Angeles, and then on my 15+ hour flight to Auckland, NZ. I'm hoping i can get upgraded to first class for LA. At least for the longer flight, we'll have personal TVs so we'll be able to catch up on a few movies. I'll be so tempted to watch, like, 7 movies but I know i need to get some sleep. We land at 6 o'clock in the morning and we'll be smellin' and feeling fresh. :)
I thought someone was going to pick us up at the airport, but since i hadn't heard from the tour group since i booked the trip, i decided to make a long distance call last night. Glad I did, or else Day 1 would've really sucked and the adventure would've started on a bad note. It seems we're gonna have to catch a bus outside of the terminal and go into the city to one of the hostels to get picked up. The bus leaves there at 8:30am, so hopefully luggage retrieval and the drive into the city doesn't take 2.5 hours. we won't have time for a fresh up, so Day 1 might be a really smelly day. We'll see...

I think this is included too, but i'm not sure:
