Air New Zealand Air Points - silver lounge passes

my partner is silver, but he is already a koru member. can he give me his lounge passes (i ask because I will be joining him in Brisbane shortly so would love to use the lounge beforehand as I have gotten used to... if i dont travel with him I dont get... boo hoo)

I don't think that will be a problem. From memory, the silver vouchers are not tied to a particular airpoints number. However, I believe that you need to show a silver airpoints card, so you will need to be silver as well to use it.

As above.

In the past, it seemed that the 2 silver passes could be given to others for use as the presentation of a Silver airpoints card wasn't rigidly enforced. However, that seems unlikely to be the case now.

You can always give it a try...and risk lounge-door rejection, or perhaps post a request to be hosted in in - who knows, someone might be travelling.

You can also check the ba97 calendar, but note that not all are FTers: http://www.ba97.com/ba97/calendar/login.asp# click on the 'read only calendar'. Sometimes the site is slow to respond.

You have to be silver to use them, but yes they can be given to any silver to use.

If you do not hold your own status with AirNZ, it is very unlikely that you will be permitted entry to the lounge.

hmmm thanks. damn I wont be silver by the time I go (unless I can convince the airnz fairy to give me some status points!) and of course if I was i'd have my own lounge passes.
