Air New Zealand's flagship lounge in Australia, with barista coffee, a bar and showers near Gate 59.
The Air New Zealand lounge in Sydney is the Sydney International Koru Lounge, which the airline calls its flagship lounge in Australia. It is airside in Terminal 1, on Level 3 after customs, near Gate 59, and Sydney Airport lists it simply as the Air New Zealand Lounge. Air New Zealand lists light refreshments, a bar, barista coffee, Wi-Fi and showers with towels and hairdryers. It opens daily from 06:00 to 21:00, and hours may vary with flight schedules. Access follows Air New Zealand and Star Alliance lounge rules, and transit access is available. During the rebuild of its own business lounge, Qantas has also sent some of its customers here at busy times. It is a solid pre-flight stop for a coffee and a shower, but plan on light bites rather than a full meal.
