Hallelujah! I wonder if they'll open it to coincide with the SS15 timetable and the resumption of the VS23.

Pedantic point - it says it'll be the 11th Clubhouse. Not technically true as presumably NRT will have closed by the time it opens ...

It's long overdue but I will miss the lovely NZ wines that the Koru Club has to offer :) .

Should be the Air New Zealand Koru lounge.

Although, assuming the Clubhouse will go in the same space when NZ move terminals, I guess there'll be several weeks over the winter when it'll be closed and VS8 passengers will have to use the VX Loft in T3, as VS24 passengers do already.

I'd guess that'll be in the new year though.

Thanks Gumshoe, I was hoping it was still the Koru lounge. Linda y)

Excellent news.
Hopefully it's all up and running before we fly home from there in May.
Was surprised when I made the booking that LAX never had one already.

Spring is a disappointment for us as we are returning mid Jan and I had hoped for an earlier opening.

DragonLady, how true, they had a good selection although I was never fortunate enough to find a "Cloudy Bay" amongst them! ANZ are now running the Star Alliance Lounge in TBIT, the choice of wines is not so good (IMHO) and the food has a very Asian bias as most of the *A flights using TBIT have a high number of Asian pax. I will really miss the T2 Koru Club.
