Well I guess this makes it as "official" as it'll be...
Air New Zealand to open new Auckland flagship lounge next week (from AUSBT)
29th September it is (next Tuesday)
Hope that date now sticks, and I'll get a chance to visit it mid-next month (October).

You can see the photos here: http://www.ausbt.com.au/photo-tour-a...lagship-lounge
As expected it follows the Sydney and Auckland Regional design very closely, and even has a covered outdoor terrace though the photos don't really show it as an outdoor space. Looking forward to seeing it in the flesh.

I wonder if that chef is going to get run over by the cook to order meals. That's a lot of capacity to cater for despite the buffet. Hope he brings his friends! Otherwise I'm hoping the cocktails win me over

I was quite surprised that it wasn't open for today's media show'n'tell, seeing as the weather was quite lovely!

That is a nice way to get a bit of fresh air and more sunlight while keeping the area versatile for when there isn't a lot of sunlight. I couldn't make out the louvres in the images before you pointed them out – definitely surprising they didn't show it off at the media event.
