And how they plan the no buffets and table service for food. Guess they also don't want people sitting in multiple different places during one longue visit.

From the FAQ section on the website:
We know how important your daily coffee is! Lounges will re-open from 25 May. In accordance with government regulations there will be no self-service buffet available. However we will have packaged snacks along with our standard coffee and beverages.

Level 1 is realistically months away at best. Level 2 could be the new normal for at least a year or until a vaccine or treatment exists.

Moderator note
About nine posts ago, this ANZ thread suddenly veered off-topic into OMNI/PR land.
Going forward, let's return to the topic of NZ domestic air travel. Thanks, Ocn Vw 1K, Senior Moderator.

I think the moderator's point was the recent posts suddenly headed off into NZ politics, and there are other places to air those views.
On domestic travel under level 2, I note that the schedule WLG-CHC-WLG from now to end of Jun is quite changeable. I have a weekend in CHC in late June, as the revised schedule doesn't include any of the flights I am booked on.
I assume that I will be offered a 'free' move to the finalised schedule, with the option for a refund if the revised timings are not suitable.

Looks like flights to places like ZQN in the next few weeks are sold-out or getting close to sold out already.
Example AKL-ZQN on 29 May is now sold out, seems like the demand has been under estimated.

They will be reactionary for a while yet.
