HKG - AKL CX/NZ Codeshare - *G - Can I use the Lounge?
Hey Girls & Guys,
simple questions because I can really not find anything on this on the web.
I'm flying HKG - AKL on a CX/NZ Codeshare. I'm flying Eco, I have a NZ Flightnumber. I am *G - Am I able to use any lounge at HKG?
Some people say its the metal that counts, others say *G benefits dont apply - its a bit weired...
Thanks in advance.

Admittedly, I have no first hand experience but as this is CX flight (regardless of NZ codeshare No) I doubt you will get into the CX lounges (as you are not CX/OW elite) or any of the Star Alliance lounges (TG, UA or SQ) as this is not *A flight (metal counts AFAIK).
But give is a try and report back - it will be useful to others in this forum.

They actually quote the exact flight (NZ4994) on this list of lounges... http://www.airnewzealand.co.nz/partner-lounge-directory .... And they actually write something about Star Alliance Gold just below that exact lounge.

This question should really go in the NZ forum.

Business class will get lounge access.
Non-NZ *G (flying economy or premium economy) will not get lounge access.
