For breakfast, I saw the chef cook omelettes so maybe you have a say in what ingredients to put into it.. But I didn't stay long enough to enquire/have one myself.

When I was there for breakfast last month, they were doing exactly this and you could choose from a few ingredients what you would like.

First post here, hello!

I was speaking with the Brother in Law last night (who is one of the AKL airport firemen) who says the new NZ lounge is supposed to open at the end of next month. Was due for this month but have fallen behind...and apparently significantly over budget. He's been into the new lounge and said it's a significant improvement over both the current NZ and EK lounges.

They took away the landside observation deck for it so it better be good!

They seem to have an history of that....

Current International Lounge was once the viewing deck, then the Domestic Lounge built out onto the viewing deck.

Then in Christchurch, even though its an new build the Lounge is above what once was the open air rooftop deck.
