Escape plan

The location and incredible perks of Air New Zealand's top secret Koru Club - reserved for its wealthiest and most famous flyers - has been unveiled.

Lounges: You get access to the exclusive EP1 lounge at Auckland International Airport and Sydney International Airport. You can invite five other people, and "enjoy a selection of à la carte dining and a selection of premium beverages." If you have a person travelling with you, they also get the same benefit. Not a problem if you're EP1, "your upgrade will be confirmed into an unsold seat at the time of the request." Inflight meals: Have you ever sat in the last row of the plane, and when the meals finally reach you, the nice-sounding one has run out? On top of that, you can also give an Airpoints Gold membership to a family member or friend. Gone is the usual Koru Club buffet; meals are à la carte, with a premium selection of drinks.
