To give credit to both, however, the baristas were in operation both times and turning out quite acceptable coffee, though the AKL one was very slow indeed. After a short night, this was very welcome.
agreed - AKL lounge very average compared to the new CHC lounge, Eggs in the AKL lounge Easter Saturday morning were cringeworthy....and barista so slow we had to flag it and endure the trip to ZQN caffeine free - the instant they serve on the plane does not qualify as coffee
CHC KC views and generous space brilliant. Lovely blonde bobbed lady on Anzac Day was possibly the friendliest staff member ever... brilliant. Food selection was good for lunch, fresh sammies and a tasty soup. Was a really nice way to end out little jaunt around the south for a week.
