| Amex Lounge Access Guide |
American Express operates its own lounge in the international terminal of Sydney Airport. A new Amex Lounge in Melbourne will also open later this month. Access to these lounges is complimentary for certain Amex cardholders.

Lounge access is available in Sydney and Melbourne regardless of the airline you're flying or class of travel. So it's a good fall-back option if you happen to fly a different airline occasionally. |
