It’s an exciting time for Air New Zealand. The carrier has recently introduced a new business class, which is being retrofitted on existing Boeing 787s. On top of that, the airline is upping its lounge game, though it’ll require some patience.
The lounge is currently around 2,000 square meters (21,500 square feet), and the footprint will be increasing by approximately 1,700 square meters (18,500 square feet), for a total size of 3,700 square meters (40,000 square feet).
Not only will the lounge be larger, but it’ll have an all-new concept. Once the expansion is complete, it will have a new “Elite” section, exclusively for Air New Zealand’s Business Premier customers, along with members of Air New Zealand’s Airpoints Elite tier. Meanwhile Star Alliance Gold members and Airpoints Gold members will be invited to use the standard part of the lounge, which all travelers use nowadays.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on One Mile at a Time.
