Qantas Club members love their coffee, especially ahead of an early morning flight.

The lounge baristas work hard every morning to caffeinate frequent flyers before they board their flights. But have you ever wondered which hot drinks Qantas flyers order the most?

When visiting the lounge at times when caffeinated beverages are in high demand, there’s often a bit of a line. But you skip the queue by ordering your coffee before you even get to the lounge using the Skip app. This free service is available at the Qantas Club and domestic Business lounges in Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Canberra and Perth.

This is a great service for people using the Qantas lounges. It also gives us access to some interesting data.

The team at Skip has shared the most popular orders at each of the Qantas lounge locations where its service is available. The most popular type of coffee depends on which city you’re in.

In Sydney and Brisbane, Qantas Club members love their flat whites more than any other type of coffee. But the latte takes the top spot in Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth.

For some reason, the most popular drink ordered by Qantas frequent flyers in Canberra is a long macchiato. This is a strong coffee made with a double shot of espresso, a dash of milk and a dollop of foam.

Lattes were the second most popular drink ordered in all the lounges where it wasn’t the first choice.

In Perth and Adelaide, flat whites came in second place. In Melbourne, the second most popular beverage is the humble cappuccino.

If you’d like something a bit different, you can also order other drinks like hot chocolates, mochas and chai lattes in the Qantas lounges. Some Qantas lounges also offer iced coffees and if you’re in Melbourne, you can even order a “magic” coffee.
