Qantas First Class Lounge Review Sydney

First Class LoungeQantas

We conducted a Qantas First Class Lounge Review in Sydney ahead of flying to LA. The international lounge is located airside in Sydney’s T1 terminal, with access from level 3. We also conducted a Qantas First Class Review on their new Qantas A380, which you can read here. Once inside the Qantas First Class lounge you’re greeted with the lounge’s signature green wall before heading upstairs to the welcome desk.

Upstairs the Qantas First Class Lounge stretches along the terminal with wide sweeping views across the tarmac and on to Sydney in the distance. We visited the lounge early in the morning and not on the clearest of days, but were still able to appreciate the view from this lounge which must be one of the best in the airport.

The Qantas First Class Lounge is long and is split into 2 by a central marble walkway. Along the windows the lounge is arranged into sections by large wooden beams clearly defining dining, and lounging areas.

Dining options in the lounge are created by Neil Perry and the Rockpool team and include a full a la carte menu as well as self serve options.

The menus are updated seasonally as well as depending on the time of day, our morning visit featured a breakfast menu packed with fresh and tasty options including Neil’s healthy bircher muesli, Buttermilk pancakes (served with Qantas Honey – produced from the airlines own beehives housed at their head office), Sweet corn fritters, Eggs Benedict and more.

The menu also has a range of wine and beer to enjoy with your meal including French Champagne.

We enjoyed the Sweet corn fritters, fresh juice and coffee which was an excellent start to the day. Sitting in the dining room of the Qantas lounge really is dining with a view.

Throughout the lounge there are plenty of self serve food options as well if you are just after a smaller snack, although the staff in the lounge are extremely attentive and very quick to serve.
