Air New Zealand Wellington International Lounge closure

Air New Zealand wishes to advise of the closure of the Air New Zealand Wellington International Lounge from 30 October to December 2017 while it undergoes a soft refurbishment.

During this time members are invited to access either the Regional or Domestic Air New Zealand Lounges at Wellington Airport, before proceeding through security screening and customs to enter the international departures area of the terminal.

Passengers are advised to be aware of the boarding time for international flights and allow enough time to get to international departure gates.

When the refreshed lounge reopens it will offer 20% more seating, with most seats having direct access to power/USB charging facilities. It will feature different seating zones including quiet, lounge, and business areas. Members will also enjoy a new self-service food buffet in the updated space.

We apologise for any inconvenience during the time the Wellington International Lounge is closed.

Additional security measures for international flights to the U.S.

July 17, 2017.


Beginning later this week, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) will require additional security measures for all international flights to the United States.

These measures include enhanced screening of travelers, as well as heightened screening of electronic devices larger than a standard smartphone. Travelers may need to remove these devices from their protective cases or outer packaging for inspection.

For international flights, the U.S. Transportation Security Administration (TSA) recommends arriving at the airport at least three hours before your flight, allowing time for the additional security measures.

Our top priority is the safety of our customers and employees, and we will continue to work with DHS to comply with the new security directive. For more information and to read a fact sheet about the new directive, please visit the DHS website.

What kind of travel does Target Travel organise for our customers?

We have learned in recent years that there is a perception that Target Travel is an expert in business travel (we are) and that that is our focus.

We have also learned in recent years that there is a perception that Target Travel is an expert in leisure travel (we are) and that that is our focus.

The simple fact is that we are experts in organising your travel. Whether it is business or corporate, flying you to your meeting in China, or taking you and your family to enjoy the sun in Rarotonga. We do both. And we do it well.

We love sending groups of people to the Philippines for their Christmas holidays. We loved flying the Got A Trade? Got It Made! future leaders from all over New Zealand to attend their future leaders forum and awards night.

We love sending school groups on adventures to all sorts of destinations.

We love flying missionaries to and from their mission fields.

If you already use us for your business, tell us where you want to go for your next holiday with friends or family. If you use us for your leisure travel, could you please refer us to the correct person in your business?

Flying around New Zealand?

Did you know that you pay no more for your seat if you book through your Travel Agent, and it’s a whole lot less hassle for you?

Agents also have the ability to hold seats or change them (with conditions) and it won’t cost you any penalties.

We send our clients all over New Zealand - for work, for fun, for surprise weekend getaways (although that’s a little trickier with the airline’s apps not keeping secrets!).

Where do you want to go next?

Let us do it for you. We can book your flights, cars and accommodation. We’ll make it easy.
