How many empty seats in biz?

I would guess around 10. It was the leased Cathay 777.

17/01/2024 NZ128 MEL-AKL
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 you can access both though you do get the best of both worlds..

Ah interesting. Granted I have not had the chance to visit the SQ one post-Covid. What has changed?
I had to endure the even worse QF biz lounge in my recent trips as most of my TT flights are now on QF.
