Partner lounges
Remember to enter your Airpoints™ number at the time of making your booking, and always carry your Airpoints Elite, Gold, Elite Partner or Koru membership card to display to Lounge Hosts when accessing our partner lounges.
Access to our partner lounges is available from 3 hours prior to departure.
Lounge access is only available prior to the departure of your Air New Zealand operated and ticketed flight on the same day from the same terminal. Children may not be brought into our partner lounges in addition to the applicable guest allowance for each partner lounge. Koru Guest Cards purchased from Air New Zealand and Air New Zealand eVouchers/passes cannot be used at partner lounges.
Airpoints Elite and Gold members (Star Alliance Gold Status holders), along with travellers that are flying in Business Premier are also able to access a wider range of lounges as per the Star Alliance Gold benefits, eligible Star Alliance Gold members must be departing on a flight with a Star Alliance carrier. Lounge access for guests is permitted as long as both member and guest are travelling on the same flight. See the Star Alliance website for details.
Important information
As many airlines have changed their hours of operation or closed their lounges, we cannot ensure Partner Lounge access will be available. For the most up-to-date information on potential lounge closures or restrictions, we recommend checking lounge access arrangements with the operating carrier at the airport upon departure.
Access to Partner Lounge facilities and services are subject to the terms of entry and they may differ from Air New Zealand lounges terms of use.
