Contrast that with any of the Asian and ME carriers and it is easy to see why "never again" was the main thought going through my mind afterwards.
I do, however, fly Air NZ long-haul if the price is right (or near right) - it is a great airline, with decent planes and fantastic crew. A shining example of how you can get it right.
don't understand why anyone going to North America who go via NZ. Fly south to head north ?
