The frosted glass doorways at Qantas’ invitation-only Chairman’s Lounges might be slide open as soon as once more from December 9.
These unique areas – tucked away within the home terminals of Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Canberra, and Adelaide – had been shuttered since March, with Chairman’s Lounge members redirected to the close by Qantas Enterprise Lounge in the course of the closure, the place obtainable.
However as state borders soften and travel restrictions are removed, Qantas is eager to carry again that Chairman’s Lounge heat and familiarity to its VIP set, particularly as they take a day out for their very own temporary getaways and holidays.
Most of Qantas’ different home lounges will return one week prior on December 2.
Included on that listing is Melbourne’s Enterprise Lounge, in addition to the Qantas Golf equipment in Sydney, Brisbane, Perth, Hobart, Devonport, and on the Gold Coast.
After December 9, solely the home Qantas Membership lounges in Canberra, Darwin, Melbourne, Port Hedland, and Rockhampton will stay closed, with Qantas Membership members welcomed into the Enterprise Lounges of Canberra and Melbourne within the meantime.
Virgin Australia’s VIP travellers are much less lucky.
The Membership lounges – Virgin’s competitor to the Qantas Chairman’s Lounge community – at Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Canberra, and Perth stay closed.
Certainly, the destiny of The Membership remains unknown, with the airline saying it’s “below evaluate”.
Virgin Australia has presently reopened just one of its domestic lounges, being in Brisbane, and has confirmed its lounges in Alice Springs, Cairns, Darwin, Mackay, Perth Terminal 2 and Wellington have been completely closed.
Again at Qantas, the Roo stands able to reopen some worldwide lounges as quickly as journey bubbles take off.
This might even see the Qantas First Lounges opening first, and welcoming all lounge-eligible travelers who’d in any other case use the Qantas Enterprise Lounge.
