Considering booking a weekend in NZ next year and really want to try EK A380 F once in my life. Probably only have enough points for F one way and J the other (or might even do Y on VA or NZ the other way as have VA status) (no EK or QF status).
The benefit of MEL-AKL is obviously MEL F Lounge access which is a real drawcard. However with the flight leaving at 8am it would be difficult to convince my other half to get to the airport so early to enjoy it. It’s also quite an unsocial time to get our ‘fill’ of booze. AKL-MEL is a far more sociable flight time for a tipple and I understand blocked slightly longer but no F Lounge (although I understand the AKL EK J Lounge is about as good as J Lounges get in this part of the world?)
Can someone update me on the current status of onboard shower and chauffer drive – I believe shower is available on this flight by chauffer isn’t?
Thanks
