Air New Zealand Air Points - Lounge access travelling business

Hi all

I am flying Perth to Wellington (via Auckland) business class and was wondering if I will be able to gain access to a domestic lounge in Auckland and
wellington on returning. I have a stop in Auckland before heading home.

I notice that there is no business class within NZ but the nice booking lady has placed me in a business class seat on the Auckland to Wellington and the exit seat Wellington to Auckland. I am a lowest rung FF (tin I think?), top FF with Qantas and looking forward to flying AirNZ. The flight cost between QF and NZ was crazy in favour of NZ.

Cheers

If you're on a business ticket you should still be able to gain lounge access for both domestic legs of the trip - just show your business class boarding pass (or stub) from the international sectors and they should let you in without issue.

I note you said you've been put in a business class seat on AKL-WLG - did you strike it lucky and get one of the rare A320 domestic flights? The 737-300s that are usually used for domestic have no business class seating. Note also that there is no food service (except for buy on board) and virtually no beverage service on the domestic flights. On the other hand the spread in the koru club lounges is pretty comprehensive - substantially better than QF Clubs in my (possibly biased) opinion.

Hope you enjoy the flights :)

Oops

Yes the nice agent put me on the A320 connection. And yes agree about Qantas lounge - food and drink tired, boring and sparse.

Seeking additional clarification - if the domestic segment is on a different day than the intl J segment but part of the same ticket, is there still domestic lounge access assuming no status? Thanks!

Not unless you can get someone to guest you in.
