This is what I was assuming- that I'll have to clear security, collect baggage and check in at the AirNZ transit desk near reclaim, then clear security again and then maybe use the lounge. I'm aware I won't be able to on return as I am on NZ2 in Y.
Blackcloud Thanks again. I will be silver when I return home for sure and will be able to enjoy using the miles. Already called AirNZ UK to change the associated FFP number and totally confused the lovely lady on the other end of the phone who was quite convinced I would be better off sticking with Airpoints!
