Can I see up front please

When I was training for my PPL (a) (which I have since got) my instructor told me to "get in the front of a real jet" and have a look at the landing, PAPI's VASIS's and how things are really done from the flight deck.

I know it's post 9/11 so I tried to arrange a formal visit during a flight with easy jet when I last went to france. I did not even get a reply to my letter.

Now I'm going to New Zealand with Air Newzealand in late January. I hope to do a bit of flying there if I can. But, can I get to see the flight deck of the aircraft I am to fly in?? Is this possible to arrange at all. Who do I talk to and is it even safe to carry my brown licence on board the plane? what will security think of my wizz wheel? or my desire of seeing a real landing?

Any Air Newzealand Pilots wishing to comment???
