Access to Air NZ Lounge - Excellent Menu

[Jama]

I am now sitting in the Melbourne lounge after arriving from Auckland where I got to use our access to the Air NZ lounge. I have to say it was excellent. Full breakfast available. Started with eggs on toast, then yogurt and an assortment of fruit, followed by croissants. They also had a selection of cereals.

Sounds like you had the same breakfast as me the other day in BNE, but I wouldn’t say I was that impressed by the selection considering it’s an international lounge.

And I’m still not sure why lounges think eggs and beans are the right way to start any sort of flying in a tube in the sky.

... Full breakfast available. ...

I would not call scrambled eggs and one other hot dish (beans, ratatouille etc.) a "Full breakfast".

Hmmm. Good point on the beans.

I haven't used any other international lounge so cant compare to anything but domestic.

Because it's cheap! Powdered egg and some average baked beans are a lot cheaper than sausages, hash browns, sausages etc. (the poor aeroplane toilets though)

Also, no disrespect to the OP, but the fact the NZ lounge appears high quality, speaks volumes of what is offered in DJ's own lounges. From my one experience in a DJ lounge, I personally would liken DJ's food options, similar (ok, slightly better) to a regional lounge in NZ (can't comment on QF though)

Yes the Breakfeast Menu at AKL International/Domestic that's been protested so heavily for the last 2 years.

Atleast AKL International has been slowly moving away from the beans

Protesting menus, is that a new lounge feature? It would be popular in CBR.

This morning AKL international had "Egg and Bacon" Slice and "Bean Cassoulet" as the hot dishes.

Atleast you could say it wasn't the canned baked beans they used to serve!
