Something seriously wrong tonight... Easily got a seat at 1715 on a Friday
Fortunately everything else was true to form and followed normal air NZ standards
- 60 minute flight delay with no clear explanation why
- hi vis jackets in the lounge
- weird soup flavour
Etc

When I was in the AKL lounge recently there was a woman with a young child that managed to let herself and the child roam between several seats, and leave partially digested pieces of food on the table next to my seat and also on the table and floor next to my wife’s seat. The baby was also allowed to crawl unattended into the main aisle to the bar (which you would walk down heading to the bar from the entry) and people had to walk over it while she fed herself seemingly oblivious, and then when she retrieved the child its dummy was left in the aisle on 2 occasions. When she left the lounge part of the dummy was left in front of one of the seats! Not one of the lounge staff said anything to her but I pitied the cleaners having to pickup random partially digested and played with food from a large area!!!

And yes at QF bclean hi vis is allowed, but not dirty clothing, jandals, beachwear etc. I've seen all of those multiple times in the Koru lounges. And with the overcrowding, enforcing a dress code might be one way to cut the numbers down.

Slightly o/t but is NZ not offering sparkling wine in their lounges anymore?? They were at Christmas...this is a major detriment to the offering for my preferences, esp since they also don't offer ciders anymore, and their soft drink is horrible bloody post-mix. The offering just seems to be getting quietly smaller and smaller

Know in Wellington at the moment they have a different drink selection between the two domestic longues and the regional is different again.

They were not in AKL international in the morning when I had previously seen them. So I asked the lounge staff and was told the sparkling would be out at (if I am not mistaken) 2pm or after the lunch service.
I would have thought 11am or midday would be reasonable.
The other wines were available.
