General Impression

Opened in August 2005 this lounge is the first to complement the new flying experience of Air New Zealand. It doubled in size compared to the previous lounge and now features 5 different zones for every taste and need:

• Quiet Zone: Passengers wishing to read a book, magazine or newspapers can enjoy the lounge's dedicated "quiet zone," which also includes a library table with information about New Zealand.

• Business Zone: For passengers who need to get that last piece of business completed before boarding their flight, the expanded business facilities include additional internet connections, a photocopier and a printer. The technology-savvy business center offers PCs at seven work stations, providing both dial-up and broadband internet access for laptops, with WI-FI access becoming available in the near future.

• Family Zone: Keeping the young ones entertained is much easier in the dedicated play area for children, complete with interactive game consoles for those a bit older.

• Refreshing Zone: Travelers can take advantage of six shower suites to refresh themselves prior to boarding the aircraft.

• Relaxation Zone: For passengers connecting from another long-haul flight, comfortable seating arrangements have been made with custom recliners designed to encourage tired travelers to catch up on some sleep.

Many products from New Zealand are used in this lounge, starting with the carpet that is made from the wool of New Zealand sheep, continuing with beauty products in the bathrooms that are made with local plants and not ending with the food and beverage-selection. Local Wines and Beers and Cocktails based on the famous 42 Below vodka.

A wide selection of fresh food inspired by the unique flavors of New Zealand is offered daily in the lounge.
