Qantas Lounges

[mrsterryn]

Getting a tad excited for a trip happening early June .
Just wondering if all the international lounges are now open again in Sydney ?
Platinum so first being back would be good
Ohhh any decent shopping post border control at Sydney ?

Yep, you should be able to enjoy Sydney F lounge.
For reference, this is the page you want to keep an eyey on for lounge updates, Qantas seems to keep it up to date

Thank you so much

The F lounge has been operating as a J+ lounge, but recently the plebs have been relegated to the actual J lounge.

I'm not sure if standards are back to F yet (including actual French Champagne) - one would hope so by June.

Shopping options in Jan were limited, but again, by June you'd think they'd be close to normal.

First lounge is open and table service is available.

Was on SYD-SIN AM departure. Pics from my trip late March this year. Enjoyed the brekkie. Didn’t have a mimosa, but copious amounts of jasmine tea kept me going.

Has there ever been? I've always found it better to shop retail sales then claim back GST at TRS counter, I've never found the "duty free" prices at the airport to be any cheaper.

Taittinger and Piper Heidsieck on offer on Sunday.

Shops mostly open although the big one you walk through first after security was boarded up with detour around the shop.

The luxury shops seem to be open, but the open space outside them seems to be some sort of market stall arrangement with limited offerings in the perfume/make-up etc line.
