Air New Zealand Wellington International Lounge

Air New Zealand seem to make it up as they wish....RULES people, play by the rules

Covid level 2, we flew from Queenstown to Wellington to Blenheim, no sign of social distancing on both flights. Passengers in front and behind, they offered masks but not enforced. Of course this is a government problem, 2 metres at a restaurant but 50 cms on a plane, weird

ENGLISHThe Air New Zealand lounge in Wellington doesn't have a view, but in terms of cordiality, service and ambience, it is streets ahead of the undercooled atmosphere of the Qantas lounge there.The receptionist was remarkably friendly and articulate, and the service staff there always provided an impeccable buffet - my compliments.The Air New Zealand lounge in Wellington would currently always be my first choice if I would plan to fly from there again.Feel free to follow my Google Maps profile, check out my other reviews and be sure to visit foodadvisorblog!DEUTSCHDie Air New Zealand Lounge in Wellington hat zwar keine Aussicht, aber was Herzlichkeit, Service und Ambiente angeht ist sie der unterkühlten Atmosphäre der dortigen Qantas Lounge um Längen voraus.Die Empfangsdame war erwähnenswert freundlich und sprachgewandt, die dortigen Servicekräfte sorgten für ein stets einwandfreies Buffet - mein Kompliment.Die Air New Zealand Lounge in Wellington wäre momentan stets meine erste Wahl flöge ich wieder einmal von dort ab.Folgt gerne meinem Google Maps Profil, schaut Euch auch meine weiteren Rezessionen an und besucht auf jeden Fall foodadvisorblog!

Had a long wait between ble-wlg and wlg-sydney flight. Was hoping to access the koru international lounge but it wont open until 90min before flight. If I knew, i could have stay at the regional lounge instead before clearing security and immigration.

It's just unbelievable.I wait in line along with 7 or 8 others. My turn, I order two beers. He promptly opens them and puts them on the counter.I go to hand over my money, and he tells me we are cashless, mate. Pay with your card.As luck would have it, I'm one of the lucky people privileged enough to get older. Quickly, I replied sorry I don't have one.I look at the shops in the airport as being the last place to offload unwanted foreign money. If I've got a little left, the final place to spend the last few dollars is not worth foreign exchange fees on when returning home.If I'm forced here in the last possible place to pay by card not only am I not getting ride of the last little bit of cash I also get slugged with additional exchange charges on the card transaction.To be fair he did have a small sign on his till which was visible to me only when it was my turn to order but I was looking at him placing my order and not looking for signage giving his trading terms.I twice offered the money, and he grunted, just take them, I tell my staff they are not allowed to handle money, so just take them.What is it coming to when the legal tender of a country is not acceptable to pay for something
