Hi

I'm flying Air New Zealand MEL-AKL and was wondering if my VA Plat qualifies me as Star Alliance Gold so I can take advantage of lounges pre-flight. I'm flying class Y

Thanks

Nope. VA is not star alliance and they are no longer partner with NZ, in fact after the divorce they are enemies. So your VA Plat, unfortunately, is nothing to NZ.

Given your platinum at VA you couldn't research this yourself?
