Air New Zealand Lounge Auckland Airport Review: Ambience
There are many different zones in the Air New Zealand Lounge of Auckland Airport. There’s the main dining area, a bar area, chill out area with lounge chairs for napping as well as a semi-outdoor area with swing seats!
The whole set up of the lounge seems to invite the passengers to visit its different zones. First, head to the dining area to get some refreshments. Then, head to the bar and grab a gourmet coffee or cocktail. Bring it outdoors to chill before catching a quick nap by the chill-out area. Love the ambience and space of the entire lounge.
Air New Zealand Lounge Auckland Airport Review: Food and Drinks
As we visited Strata Lounge first, we were a little late to the meal time at the Air New Zealand Lounge by the time we reached at about 10pm. Hence, we were only able to have some light snacks here. Nonetheless, because of the bar area, we had an enjoyable experience with the gourmet coffees and cocktails at the Air New Zealand Lounge in Auckland…
The highlight was definitely the bar area where we first checked out the gourmet coffees where you could make the orders via an electronic device…
This time, we ordered the gourmet coffee at Air New Zealand Lounge Auckland via a touch pad and had a double shot flat white that was fragrant, rich and delectable. It was paired with desserts of carrot cake and blueberry cheesecake – both of which were legit good.
Next, it was time to try out the alcoholic selection from the bar. We ordered the Emerson Ale and Steinlager Pure on tap. There’s also a selection of cocktails. Of which, we wanted to order the Green Tea Martini – which sounded so yummy but not available that evening 😔. Hence, we went with Cosmopolitan and Old Fashioned where were both delicious. As for the rest of the alcoholic selection, we enjoyed the August Sauvignon Blanc which was smooth and aromatic as well as the Passion Fruit Hazy Cider which was fruity and rich. Sitting outdoors while chilling by the swing with lounge music was simply perfect…

All in all, the visit to Air New Zealand Lounge Auckland was simply shiok. Although we missed the meal times, we still had an enjoyable experience at the bar and chilling outdoors by the swing with great drinks. Towards the end of our visit, we saw that the number of passengers while dwindling down and we knew it was time to head over to the boarding gate. We eventually boarded at 0050 for the 0120am flight from Auckland to Singapore. A great experience at Air New Zealand Lounge Auckland overall!
