Queenstown Airport’s Manaia Lounge opening up to domestic travellers

Friday, 13 Dec, 2021 0

Queenstown Airport’s Manaia Lounge is extending a welcome to domestic fliers.

Usually reserved for international travellers, Manaia Lounge will begin serving domestic fliers this summer.

Owned and operated by aviation ground-handling company Planebiz, the Manaia Lounge is located on the first floor of Queenstown Airport, with views out to the iconic Remarkables mountain range.

It caters for up to 150 guests and offers a business centre with free Wi-Fi and desktop computers as well as TV and reading areas, dining areas and bathrooms.

There is also a gourmet self-service food and beverage selection featuring local beer and wine, hot drinks, juices, and hot and cold food.

During the busy Christmas period, domestic travellers will be offered a discount on the all-inclusive price to use the lounge, at $25 per adult and $10 per child (2-11yrs) until 31 December.

From 1 January until the international border opens and trans-Tasman travel resumes, the price will be $30 for adults and $15 per child.

"With the current Covid situation, this is a great option for people wanting more peace of mind when travelling over the next few months. We know that some are looking for some extra space and comfort or to treat themselves at the start or end of a holiday," said PlaneBiz Station Manager Kellie Clarke

"We have strict Covid protocols in place to keep our staff and passengers safe which include regular deep cleaning, on-site food preparation, and relevant document checks."
