Air New Zealand Air Points - connecting flight to rotorua

I have a 6 hour delay from flight from sydney to auckland for the connecting flight to rotorua is there any lounges etc that can speed up the 6 hours in between

Much appreciated

There is a domestic Koru Club Lounge in the Auckland domestic terminal, which club members and *G pax can access. Never used it myself so far but what I have heard the lounge is quite well equipped and pleasant.
I am sure some of the NZ regulars on here will provide more info for you.

You could drive to ROT in 3 - 4 hours, or fly to TRG (~30 minutes) and then drive the ~75km to ROT. 6 hours in any airport, even in a good lounge, is something to be avoided

There are lots of flights SYD-AKL. Can you change to something that connects better?

For info on lounge see the lounge thread on this forum.

I had 7 hours between flights 3 nights ago in the Auckland Koru Club, came in from Sydney going to Hamilton.

Was a great place to relax, the Koru Clubs seem to be by far the best Airline lounges ive been in with regards to food, besides SIA.

Have fun and enjoy NZ

Dave: 7 hours in the lounge at AKL when you were en route to HLZ? Yeesh! You coulda taken the bus to Hamilton and back again in that time, no? http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

Sorry, mate - had to poke fun at that one - not hard feelings, aye?

Hi Dave, long time no hear!

Drop me a call one day soon!

Oh no hard feelings mate, infact I though how stupid it was myself but oh well, the things we do for miles http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

and for such a small number of them!

Yep, no *G for 2004. I actually got the 'welcome to prestige' kit in the mail yesterday. Actually, both my wife and I got it the same day (she didn't make *G either). It was a sad moment.

Am in BNE at the moment, but will drop you a line in early March. Interestingly, my bag didn't quite make NZ205 CHC BNE on Sunday night. We were late on the DUD CHC flight so it just wasn't gonna happen. Needless to say, I wasn't really that surprised when it didn't come round the carousel at BNE. No harm, Freedom brought it out the next day! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif
