I heard that it was more about your influence than your spend. I have a high-spending friend who was told that although his spend was high he was not a CEO.

She said that EP1 is "currently being rolled out."
Is this the old conference room?

In AKL domestic it is the room on the left as you go into the lounge area, just before the scanners where you gain entry.

Yes, it's the EP1 area - I asked this afternoon.

Can't for the life of me know why they didn't invite me in.

Don't they know who I am?

Anyone know if there will be a separate EP1 area in any other lounges? WLG, CHC, AKL international?

I can't think where in WLG they'd put it. Maybe when the terminal is upgraded?

Yes, I think it was Nicholas Jermyn Shirtmakers selling there. I didn't see one person go anywhere near the sales lady when I was in there on Monday night. This has been done sporadically in the AKL lounge from time to time as well, although the PA announces periodically what they are doing. Still, unless they were terrific bargains, I wouldn't be interested in shopping while relaxing in a lounge.

I bought two shirts and a tie from her. 50% off the store price so I am quite happy.
