About me

I'm the CEO and co-founder of LoungePair, the world's largest source of flexible airport lounge passes. Our web app offers thousands of airport lounge deals, including 500+ lounges available for direct purchase. For lounges we don't sell directly, we guide travelers to the best purchase options.

Originally from Australia, I've made Auckland, New Zealand my home since 2014, where I also run a planning consultancy. As an urban planner by profession, I have a unique perspective on how spaces - whether cities or airport lounges - shape experiences.

I'm passionate about the art of travel itself - from lounges to premium cabins, points to hotels. There's something magical about the journey being as memorable as the destination.

When I'm not working on making airport lounges more accessible, you'll find me enjoying urban adventures, food, theatre, or taking long drives beyond the city limits.

  • Hi Cheryl - absolutely not, we see airlines as our partners, not competition. They offer day passes or access to elite members, but they often experience the same struggle with filling seats especially out of their hub cities. Our product offers pricin... show more

  • The posts above are spot on, and I have to rack my brain to even think of anything to add. I'll touch again on the business vs. leisure travel split, which Mark Lenahan delved into above (must read post). Society is now hooked on Zoom and Microsoft Te... show more
