Air New Zealand Auckland Regional Lounge
★4.1(926 reviews)AKL
Auckland's regional Koru lounge — opened 2019, with expansive tarmac views and a full bar.
The Air New Zealand Auckland Regional Lounge opened in November 2019 and serves the airline's regional and turboprop departures from Auckland. It's on level 1, above the former lounge space and just steps from Air New Zealand's valet service area and the departure gates. Spreading across more than 1,000 square metres, it can accommodate up to 265 guests and carries Air New Zealand's signature decor. Highlights include expansive tarmac views, complimentary snacks and alcoholic beverages, handcrafted espresso drinks and a full suite of business amenities for working before a flight. Access is for Star Alliance Gold status holders and Business Class passengers. For Air New Zealand frequent flyers on regional services, it's a notably spacious and modern lounge — the newer of the two Koru lounges on Auckland's domestic side.
