I even checked out the SQ lounge this last time down. While the food was superb, the space as cramped like the RCC.

If they did do a subcontract with AirNZ, it makes perfect sense, far better product than the current UA RCC, IMHO...
Haven't been to the Koru in SYD but when UA flew out of AKL they used that lounge. Maybe UA had staff there with UA's reservation terminals, not sure. Perhaps that will happen in SYD if there's a long-term arrangement?
