Air New Zealand Air Points - Lounge Access

I have many flights coming up early next year, mainly domestic US flights, but also a few Air NZ flights from Aus-USA.

What would be the best way to obtain lounge access for both of these. Unfortunately I am flying economy or premium economy.

If I have red carpet club club access (United Lounge) will that give me access to Air NZ Lounges ?

As an RCC member , it seems you can gain access to AirNZ lounges per the United chart here:

I think RCC membership does not give access to the regional koru clubs (ZQN, DUD, PMR, HLZ, NPE, NSN and NPL) - but not missing much there. It does give access to the main city koru clubs and all NZ international lounges, as long as flying out from that airport same day on *A of course (ie no access when you fly Qantas).

Thanks, I was searching for that table and couldn't find it after seeing it a while ago.

Can't find any mention of it on the Air NZ website though, think I will send off an email and print the table and email for reference, when they deny access in the Air NZ lounge.

I can actually get a free Red Carpert Club membership using a family memebers points up, so I will do it that way :)

DUD isn't considered a regional lounge. And I hear its pretty nice!

Oops, and yes it is nice. Beer on tap!
