LOUNGE OFFERS/REQUESTS: Requests are in Royal Blue

A reminder - those offering guesting are quite happy to be guested to a superior lounge! If an offer/request is taken, please consider to STRIKE it rather than taking it down, but it is not essential.

Friendly suggestion - you might want to be considerate to your fellow NZ FF'ers & try to avoid offers during peak times of the week, to help alleviate the existing over-crowding issue at various NZ lounges. Thank you

Totally agree. The Auckland lounge is heaving with people at the best of times, certainly no need for anymore.

The Brisbane lounge is like feeding time at the zoo, it seems to attract a disproportionate number of bogans. I would like to see AirNZ implement a "no shirt, no shoes, no service" policy like Qantas have, it might at least clean the place up a bit. I'm guessing the Brisbane lounge is like it is because of the numbers of people that buy the works deluxe fares, which then gives them a free pass into the lounge. Some of these people you would wonder they have never seen food before, the way they get stuck into the food trough...

The Brisbane lounge is also about the size of a shoebox and as far as we know hasn't been renovated for at least 10 years...

It is also used by a number of other carriers, including Virgin Australia before their daily 777 service to LAX. Our experience was that it was uncomfortably crowded before this flight.

I've just dropped back from Gold to Silver and although I can use my vouchers in the Koru lounges, I can't in the international lounges.

I am booked on the NZ2 departing Sat 2nd May from AKL to LHR and wonder if anybody on that flight could kindly guest me in at LAX?

Best to put a lounge request in. I'll put it up on the Wiki above for you.

I can guest someone into the CHC domestic lounge almost every Friday at 12.00. I commute weekly to PPQ and have bookings from now until the end of July.

The lounge is usually half full and 12.00 is the time they wheel out the hot but unexciting lunch service.

Fancy a pint!

Hello there.

Flying NZ 6 Saturday 6th June down the back!

Would appreciate being someone's guest into the NZ lounge.

Planning to be airside 4.15pm onwards.

If not, more than happy to have a beer in the concourse bar area also.

Cheers,

Michael

A shame you're on the 2nd of May, I'm going on the 3rd otherwise I could guest you in.
