Hi all ... on the qantas club site it shows that there is an international associated lounge at Christchurch. Does anyone know which airline it is for? I'm trying to figure out opening hours to see if we need a hotel with early breakfast for our OMGo'clock departure in November.
Cheers!
The 'real' Qantas lounge closed on 31-Aug.
New lounge is to be operated by their ground handler who presently operates the Emirates associated lounge as well.
Unsure if this will be in the old lounge area or if they will effectively takeover the Qantas club.
Air NZ has a separate Koru lounge.
Hmm it's left of gate 26 if that helps. I don't know where the old club was (only joined a few months ago).
Would suggest they are using the Manaia Lounge (nearer Gates 24/25).
Is quite small (only 1/3 size of the old Qantas and Air NZ lounges)

There were 2 QC lounges at CHCOriginally Posted by moa999
* Domestic - closed 31-Aug
* International - still open ?
International lounge used to open only for QF interntional flights I recall
QF still have flights ex CHC (but how long before Jetrats takes over all TT flights?)
Is the International one that closed.
NZ Domestic lounges close in Dec-09
Fly - The Qantas Club - The Qantas Club NewsFrom 1 September 2009, Qantas will be moving to an Associated lounge in Christchurch. The Associated lounge is a shared lounge available for Qantas Club members, and Platinum and Gold Frequent Flyers when travelling on a Qantas or Jetstar flight#.
You will also be able to access to the lounge if you are travelling on a Qantas flight in Business.* The Manaia Lounge is located at Christchurch International Airport located on the first floor.
* Christchurch Associated lounge access is a stand alone agreement between Qantas and Jetstar. Associated lounge access in other ports is subject to standard Associated lounges conditions of entry.
http://www.qantas.com.au/travel/airl...lobal/en#jump0^ Following the transition of domestic services from Qantas to Jetstar, effective 4 December 2009, domestic Qantas Clubs in New Zealand will close. Jetstar will announce plans for lounges in New Zealand shortly.
Ah excellent. Thanks all!
For some resaon I thought is was the other way round.
How to p**s off customers in a fast way
I doubt if Jetrats NZ has picked up lot of the former QF NZ pax. Many will have defected to Air NZ
Hmm now the website is showing this.

* Associated lounges are operated by, or on behalf of, other airlines in selected ports to which Qantas operates.
^The Christchurch lounge will be available for Qantas Platinum and Gold Frequent Flyers, and Qantas Club members travelling on a Qantas or Jetstar operated flight, along with customers travelling in Business Class on Qantas.

If you're still interested in knowing the opening hours of the Manaia lounge, it was definitely open at 4.55 this morning for our return to BNE.
Not a bad lounge, though the brekkie spread was a little thin on the ground compared to standard QC fare, but it was deathly quiet in there.
