Air New Zealand Domestic Lounge

Auckland's domestic Koru lounge — Star Alliance Gold or Business Class, with showers and a Kiwi feel.
The Air New Zealand Domestic Lounge is the main Koru lounge on Auckland Airport's domestic side, in the separate Domestic Terminal. It welcomes Air New Zealand and Star Alliance elite and premium passengers — Star Alliance Gold status holders and Business Class travellers. The lounge has a contemporary yet distinctly Kiwi atmosphere, with sleek modern furniture set against native New Zealand artwork, soft warm lighting and a relaxed, culturally rich feel. It's spacious, with ample seating, though it can get busy at the morning and evening commuter peaks. Facilities include showers and a bar, alongside the usual barista coffee, snacks and light food you'd expect from a domestic lounge. For Air New Zealand frequent flyers and Star Alliance Gold members travelling within New Zealand, it's the go-to spot before a flight.
Crowding · busy at peak
A comfortable spot for a bit of work before a domestic flight, with power at many seats and seating you can use for a laptop. Fine for email and light work.

A light-food and snack selection alongside a bar, in the relaxed Air New Zealand domestic style — lighter bites and snacks rather than a full buffet, with wines, beers and spirits plus barista coffee, tea and soft drinks.
