Very interesting, and a great outcome for you. OneUp bids (are supposed to) rank below all Recognition Upgrades, so assume they also all cleared.
How many empty seats in biz? |

Tasman saver to BP $265 AUD no loyalty accepted T-9hr coincided with text notifying 5hr delay - eventuated to near 7hr delay for departure next day. Departed with only 6 pax in BP all on side A. Only 1 pax in PE. Benefit was lounge access for 7+ hrs in AirNZ lounge. flying Mel-AKL-HKG J class in Dec, would like suggestions for Mel if SQ lounge is better? |

If the SQ lounge is open when your NZ flight leaves then I would go there in a heartbeat. Much better food and usually quieter. Beverage choice might be a bit limited though. Also I am never a fan of the ground floor location of the Air NZ lounge in MEL.
If you can access both though you do get the best of both worlds.. |

I don't nesessarily agree in MEL. In SYD the SQ lounge is far superior, but in MEL that's not my experience in recent trips.

Ah interesting. Granted I have not had the chance to visit the SQ one post-Covid. What has changed?

I recall the overall ambience and seating in the SQ lounge in MEL felt dark, dense & tired. Find the NZ lounge better.
