Air New Zealand Wellington Domestic Lounge
★3.9(54 reviews)WLG
Wellington's main domestic lounge — Air New Zealand and Star Alliance, above gates 10-17.
The Air New Zealand Wellington Domestic Lounge is the airport's main lounge, set within the Domestic Terminal landside (before security), above gates 10-17. It welcomes premium passengers travelling with Air New Zealand and its Star Alliance partner airlines, along with eligible status holders. The lounge is built for both relaxing and getting a little work done before a flight, with a hot and cold buffet, finger food and a drinks selection that runs from soft drinks and coffee to house wine, beer and spirits. As Wellington's most complete lounge, it's the default choice for most travellers heading out on a domestic Air New Zealand service from the capital.
Crowding · busy at peak
A workable pre-flight spot with seating you can use for a laptop and the usual lounge comforts. Fine for email and light work before a domestic flight, though it isn't a dedicated business lounge.
A complimentary hot and cold buffet with finger food, backed by a full drinks offer. Expect hot dishes and a cold spread alongside soft drinks, coffee and tea, plus house wine, beer and spirits — enough to make a proper meal of it before a domestic flight rather than just a quick snack.
In the Domestic Terminal, the lounge is located landside (before security), above gates 10-17. Look for the Air New Zealand lounge signage on the upper level above the gate area.
