Platinum Lounge Access on Air NZ ex SFO
Travelling in a few weeks time on Air NZ Premium Economy SFO - AKL - BNE.
As VA Platinum, would I get lounge access ex SFO?
Air NZ website indicates there is lounge access for Koru Club members at the SilverKris lounge, but I was unsure if this benefit extends to Velocity members?

If allowed in, is there sometimes flexibility with number of additional guests permitted? I'm traveling in a party of 3 x adults and the website indicates only 1 x additional guest is permitted.

In my experience each airline extends certain additional privileges to its own highest-level members but not reciprocally to other airlines' highest-level passengers. I expect you'll be treated as a Gold level of their scheme, not a Platinum member of yours. I've routinely been refused more than one guest (I'm also a Platinum with VA) at SQ and NZ lounges. Depending on how busy they are, there's always the "just this once" exception
