The Qantas flagship First Lounges opened in Sydney and Melbourne in May 2007, designed by internationally renowned Australian industrial designer Marc Newson.

They have been described as “simply the best in the world”.

From a full concierge service to complimentary spa treatments, music specially created to complement the atmosphere and function of each area of the lounge, and of course menus designed by Rockpool and Neil Perry, what better place to relax pre-take off.

A premium check- in service at Sydney and Melbourne international terminals allows First customers to check in prior to arrival at the airport, at which point they are met by a Qantas First host and porter.

Nearly everything has been designed by Marc Newson specifically for the lounges and manufactured by leading international craftsman.
