Hello V flyers,
I have been a reader of the site for a short time and thought I would register - it really is a great community here. Have been reading all sorts of trip reports and forum posts from recent posts to digging around in the archives from years ago, getting really into it! Everyone seems really friendly and helpful - its nice to find a little corner of the internet where people engage in intelligent, humorous and respectful discussion (most of the time??!?) Even when people have different opinions!! I spend a lot of time reading tech/gadget sites and the forums/comments at most of them are a free for all scrap!!
Just thought I would stop by and say hello.
Have always been a big fan of VS since I was a halfling and a surprise family trip to MCO - the kind mother and daughter that were sitting next to us had some sort of flying club membership/bonus option of heading up to the flight deck of the 747 (possibly a 747-200??) we were on, but the daughter said she had seen it enough times and offered the option to my sister and I - it was awesome to meet the flight crew and look out over the clear skies from the front of the aircraft! I have always had that slight magical/nostalgic feeling flying with VS since then I also remember playing super nintendo games in the seat back IFE - must have been circa 1995?
Do not get to fly as often as I would like but love reading about civil aviation and aircraft though
My good lady and I are booked in on a UC
flight from LHR to AKL via SFO with VS/ANZ (coming back EC/PE 
) in January and was wondering if we would have use of the clubhouse at SFO as we have a few hours waiting? Or perhaps the Air New Zealand lounge?
Thanks!
