★3.5(75 reviews)BNE · International · airside
One of Brisbane's two Star Alliance lounges — Air NZ and Star Alliance premium and status.
The Air New Zealand International Lounge sits in Brisbane's International Terminal and is one of the airport's two Star Alliance lounges, the other being the Singapore Airlines SilverKris Lounge. Although the Australian market is dominated by oneworld carrier Qantas, Brisbane is home to these two Star Alliance options, and the Air New Zealand lounge serves the airline's own premium-cabin passengers along with Star Alliance premium travellers and eligible status holders. Access follows your ticket and frequent-flyer tier rather than a paid membership. Inside, expect Air New Zealand's relaxed Kiwi hospitality style — food and drinks, comfortable seating and a quieter environment to settle in before a long-haul flight. It serves international departures only; Brisbane's domestic lounges are in a separate building.
