Auckland travel tech company LoungePair has partnered with Entertainment Publications of Australia to make digital e-gift cards for lounge access available across New Zealand and Australia.
LoungePair lets any traveller settle in before a flight by choosing a lounge that suits their itinerary and buying access on the spot. Digital e-gift cards for lounge access are now available to Entertainment Publications members, whether personal travellers or businesses.
Consumers can buy passes through the Entertainment Book, where a lounge pass turns into a send-off digital e-gift card for family and friends, or a welcome addition to their own holiday. With a LoungePair pass, you use what you need, only when you need it.
Businesses can buy the same digital e-gift cards through Frequent Values, a benefit that travels with the employee. Framed around wellbeing, it turns the dead time before boarding into something worthwhile, treating time on the road as hours to make the most of rather than a tax to endure.
LoungePair CEO Daniel Kinnoch said that lounges have long been reserved for a select few with status, and he wanted to open that door to everyone who travels.
“Through Entertainment Publications, we can reach individuals wanting to spoil someone they love and businesses looking after their teams, right across New Zealand and Australia. From New Zealand, we are carrying that idea further out into the world."
This partnership is one of several carrying LoungePair from New Zealand out into the wider world. The platform connects travellers with over 1,400 airport lounges worldwide, offering instant, on-demand access without the need for annual memberships or loyalty status.
The company’s mission has been to remove the barriers to premium travel experiences, giving every traveller, whether flying for business or leisure, the ability to begin their journey in comfort.
Alongside it, the company has launched a co-branded site with Etihad Airways that lets the airline's guests buy lounge access on the spot, while eligible Mastercard cardholders now earn money back when they book through LoungePair.
With transparent pricing, instant access with no advance booking, and a growing network of global partnerships, LoungePair has redefined how people experience airports worldwide.
