Airline lounge network
Qantas Lounges
Qantas Lounges are the airline's tiered network across Australian hubs and key international ports. Access comes through cabin class, Qantas Frequent Flyer status, a paid Qantas Club membership, or Oneworld status rather than a contract network like Priority Pass.
How Qantas Lounge access works
Qantas Lounge entry requires a same-day Qantas or Oneworld ticket plus an eligible cabin, status tier, or membership. The common doors are a Business or First class ticket, Qantas Frequent Flyer Gold or Platinum status, a paid Qantas Club membership, and Oneworld Sapphire or Emerald status when flying internationally on a Oneworld carrier. Qantas lounges are not on Priority Pass.
The Qantas lounge tiers
Qantas runs several tiers: domestic Business Lounges and the membership-based Qantas Club at Australian airports, International Business Lounges at long-haul ports, First Lounges at flagship hubs, and the invitation-only Chairmans Lounge for top-tier members. The First Lounges in Sydney and Melbourne are well regarded and include sit-down dining and spa treatments for eligible passengers.
What is Qantas Club
Qantas Club is a paid annual membership that grants lounge access independent of your frequent flyer status, primarily at domestic Business and Qantas Club lounges. It suits travelers who fly Qantas often but do not hold Gold or Platinum status. Some Qantas-branded credit cards in Australia include Qantas Club membership or a set of single-visit lounge passes.
Where Qantas Lounges are and Oneworld access
Coverage is heaviest at Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane, with further lounges across Australian capitals and at international ports including Los Angeles, London, Singapore, and Auckland. Oneworld Sapphire members on an international Oneworld flight can use Qantas Business lounges, and Oneworld Emerald members can use First lounges where they exist, regardless of the cabin booked.
