LoungePair expands lounge e‑gift cards to New Zealand and Australia

Auckland‑based travel technology firm LoungePair has partnered with Entertainment Publications of Australia to launch digital e‑gift cards that provide on‑demand airport lounge access across New Zealand and Australia. The offering is available through two channels: Entertainment Book, aimed at individual and family travellers, and Frequent Values, which allows businesses to purchase cards as employee benefits.

The service lets any traveller select a lounge from LoungePair’s network of more than 1,400 locations and pay for a single visit without needing an annual membership or elite status. CEO Daniel Kinnoch said the partnership “opens the door to everyone who travels,” extending lounge benefits beyond traditional status‑based access. The deal follows earlier collaborations with Etihad Airways and Mastercard, which also broaden LoungePair’s reach.

Customers can buy the e‑gift cards as gifts, personal travel upgrades, or corporate perks, providing flexible, instant lounge access worldwide.
