Qantas has welcomed the first customers into the new spacious Qantas London Lounge at Heathrow Airport, as the airline counts down to its non-stop 787 Dreamliner flights between LHR and SYD.

Qantas has spent the past 12 months building a dedicated lounge at Heathrow as part of a multi-million-dollar investment for customers on its existing London services as well as the landmark LHR – PER route starting on March 25th.

Qantas Group chief executive, Alan Joyce, said investing in the first dedicated Qantas Lounge at Heathrow was key as the airline prepares to directly air link Europe and Australia for the first time.
“The Kangaroo Route is at the heart of Qantas’ identity and London is one of our most important destinations,” said Joyce.
“We have worked with leaders in design, food and service to create a lounge that is modern and comfortable and incorporates the aesthetics of the Qantas lounges that make our customers feel at home.
