Update: ANZ Travel Card to drop complimentary lounge access on 1st April 2017.
If you have the ANZ Travel Card, you’d realise that there are several benefits of having the card, including
– Earning up to 2.8 miles with every $1 spent (with designated merchants) or 1.4 miles with all other spendings.
– Complimentary airport limousine departure transfers with minimum spending of $1,500
– Travel accident and inconvenience insurance coverage when you purchase your air tickets using the ANZ Travel Card
Our favourite perk of having the ANZ Travel Card? Airport lounge access of course!
You may have read our coverage of Dnata SkyView Lounge and SATS Premier Lounge. These were lounges that provided complimentary access with the ANZ Veloce partnership. To find out which are the lounges currently available with the ANZ Travel Card, all you have to do is visit the Veloce Website and key in the first 6 digits of your credit card number. It will then show you the available lounges associated with your credit card (in this case, the ANZ Travel Card).
Correct as of February 2015
During our latest visit, we were surprised to know that the complimentary lounges at Changi Airport has changed…again…(maybe the next time we won’t be so surprised anymore :P)
Unfortunately, with this round of revision, both lounges do not offer complimentary alcoholic beverages. Nonetheless, you’d be happy to note other services available at these lounges…
Changi Airport Terminal 1 : Airport Wellness Oasis
If you’re departing from T1, instead of the Dnata Skyview Lounge, ANZ Travel Card holders can visit the Airport Wellness Oasis just below it.

What we love about the new lounge is that it offers a 20 minutes complimentary fish spa! You can do this “treatment” once at departure and another when you arrive back in SG again Food wise, it is nothing to shout about. Beverages such as soft drinks, juice and coffee/tea are available and showering facilities are complimentary as well.
Changi Airport Terminal 3 : Ambassador Transit Lounge
At Terminal 3, you can visit the Ambassador Transit Lounge. Again, alcoholic beverages are not complimentary. However, views over the Butterfly Garden offers a relaxing vibe to this lounge.

Food offered at the Ambassador Transit Lounge is certainly better than the Airport Wellness Oasis. With convenience offered by the Sky Train, it is really easy to travel internally between terminals (and thus lounges!).
[UPDATE]
Saw this update at ANZ Travel Visa’s website
From 1 September 2016, receive two complimentary access to over 800 DragonPass lounges around the world when you charge a minimum of $10,000 to your ANZ Travel Card in each calendar quarter. A unique DragonPass membership number will be issued to you when you qualify.
That’s a spend of $10,000 in 3 months! Guess we’ll probably not be renewing with ANZ Travel Card anymore. If you have any thoughts on this, tell us more in the comments section below!

Lounge Istanbul, located at the departure terminal of Ataturk Aiport in Turkey, is the largest airport lounge that we’ve ever been to. Having been to the SATS, Dnata, KrisFlyer Gold Lounge and China Airlines Dyanasty Lounge, Lounge Istanbul is certainly an eye-opener for us. Let’s find out what makes Lounge Istanbul one of the top airport lounges in the world!
Spanning almost 6000m2 (WHAT?!), Lounge Istanbul boasts of several amenities that we have not seen before, including a self-service baggage storage area, a pool table, a golf simulator, a miniature virtual car rally and many drinks and food points all around the lounge! It is also able to accommodate 1000 guests at any point in time!
When we first entered Lounge Istanbul, we were very impressed by its decorations. We then found out that it is one of the largest airport lounges in the world. Here are some of the things we enjoyed about the lounge.
1. Decorations with different themes. As you can see from the pictures above, there are many different themes in and around the lounge. You can choose to chill at the classy and elegant area of the lounge, enjoy some coffee and desserts at the cafe themed area or lounge at many of the comfortable seats across the Istanbul Lounge!
2. Many different and unique amenities. Unlike the usual lounges that only offers food, publications and internet, Lounge Istanbul offers many firsts for us including
– A Golf Simimulator
– Miniature race rally course
– Pool Table
– Cinema
– Library
– Suites
– Massages
– Children’s Playroom
3. Sheer Size. As Kate mentioned, the Istanbul Lounge is so huge that it’s better to first find a seat before heading to check out the amenities. Otherwise, you’ll have trouble finding each other within the lounge!
True story.

China Airlines Dynasty Lounge was one of the lounges we’ve visited during our Taiwan Trip in 2014. With the ANZ Travel Credit Card, we were able to have complimentary (aka FREE!) entry into the China Airlines Dynasty Lounge located at Terminal 1 and 2 of the Taoyuan International Airport.

1. Separating dining and lounge area. The cool thing about this lounge is that there is an automated door that separates the lounge area from the dining area. This ensures that the smells of the food keeps contained within the dining area as far as possible. Nice touch by China Airlines.
2. Noodle Bar. To make the dining experience more enjoyable, there is a noodle bar that serves up Taiwanese noodles including beef noodles, noodles with pork broth, noodles with minced meat in sweet bean paste sauce and rice noodles with pork in soup. If you happen to miss any of these yummy local delicacies during your trip to Taiwan, this would be an excellent opportunity to “catch up” on these noodles!
