Nadi Air New Zealand Business Class Lounge & Koru Club

There is a small but acceptable Air New Zealand Koru Club at Fiji's Nadi Airport. Admitedly it is tiny, but then again, so is everything else about this airport. It is tucked away in the basement. To find the lounge walk straight on after security, past the duty free shop, behind the escalator, and it's to the right of the Fiji Airways lounge (which when it is only half open is much smaller). You will be welcomed with a "Bula" from the main desk, and asked to take a seat. Grab one if you can find one - there are only 38 in the lounge, and when two Air NZ aircraft are due to leave the lounge can get packed. There is aggressive air conditioning, an OK view of the apron (under the concrete balcony) and one TV.

Bar

The bar is OK - there is Fiji Gold & Fiji Bitter (made by Fosters) in the fridge, Tui beer, white and champers in mini bottles. The spirit selection has imporved of late, with Bounty (Fijian) rum, JW Red, Smirnoff, VSOP, Gin and Vodka.

Food

Food is at it's best at breakfast time when most of the flights depart. It's is your usual Kiwi healthy selection, with lots of muffins, cerial, and toast. There is Vegemite, marmalade & jam. At other times there are sandwiches and biscuits. However the sandwiches only seem to come out for some flights to New Zealand - and not for flights to the US (this is possibily because a lot of Kiwi's fly to & from Fiji, and these seems to be far less premium traffic from Fiji to LA).

Business Facilities

Newspapers include the New Zealand Herald and lots of copies of the Bulletin & Women's Weekly. There are two business booths, one with a fax machine, and one with a telephone. There are no computers - you have to nip upstairs to the coin-in-the-slot internet machine.

Bathrooms

Toilets are in the lounge. There is one shower but it's pretty decrepid, with a mouldy tray and curtains.
