I flew to LAX. I collected my luggage, and changed from Terminal 8 to Terminal 2 by catching the 'A' bus which is the inter-terminal bus loop around LAX. Went through security, which was not too bad, the line-ups were not long.
Got to go into the Air New Zealand lounge, it's very nice. There are showers, a business centre, flat screen TV's, big comfy chairs, floor to ceiling windows, magazines, buffet food, drinks (soda pop, wine and vodka (both from NZ), beer We didn't have too long to wait and then lounge's front desk made the announcement it's time to board.
Air New Zealand fly from Los Angeles to Tongatapu via Apia (Samoa), only on Tuesdays with the same touchdown and schedule on the return.
Air NZ Business class is very nice. It's not the super deluxe beds that would be on their longer haul flights. These seats do not lay completely flat. It didn't seem like that long before it was time to land in Apia (5:20AM). The heat and humidity hit me as soon as I walked off the aircraft! We had to get off the plane and take our hand luggage with us. There is a 1hr 25mins layover with nothing to do .(Bring a book to read!) You have to put you hand luggage on the security scanner (which is a bit ridiculous, as we already did all that in LA). There is a bar, where you can buy refreshments, there are washrooms, and a souvenir shop that is not open that early.
