Vietnam Airlines Powers Lotusmiles Lounges with LoungePair

LoungePair has also signed a partnership with Auckland Airport's Strata Lounge, allowing members to purchase passes when travelling through Auckland, New Zealand.
In November 2025, LoungePair entered partnerships with Zurich-backed travel insurance provider Freely, Australian Frequent Flyer, and global lounge network Dragonpass.
