789, not 788.
Do they still have Moet in the RCC?

I know the flight departure is in the morning, but in my opinion it is worthy to go to NZ lounge just for wine, especially if you are flying economy - as UA economy service charges $$ for poor quality wines.
Please insist you have a friend to meet etc.

The NZ wines are fantastic.

What lounges would be open and available to a Gold+ status person flying Y.
Which have the best food that time of day/
Now that UA has been inconsistently applying the inherit status "rules" will two people on my award tickets also get into the lounge?
Koru Club, but it is a temporary space right now.

Thanks in advance...will be there next month.
Was never really correct. NZ is better, and no attitude, plus Annie. That said, the NZ lounge is currently in a temporary space.
