HelenFlew with Air New Zealand-Jul 2026
The AirNZ domestic lounge has been closed for quite some time following a fire... That's a bit disappointing but what I didn't know is they've set up a little cafe area at the gates for Koru club members so you can still get a coffee and a snack.
ConstantineFlew with Air New Zealand-Nov 2024
Security screening can be slow at busy times so don’t wait too long to get to the gate.
