A swanky airport lounge at Sydney and Melbourne is now offering all the perks of first class to all international passengers — even people in economy.
They’re the exclusive few who have enjoyed the comfortable rest areas, fancy food and drinks and showers and pamper rooms, to the envy of the rabble in the main terminal.The House, a first-class lounge currently operating in Sydney and Melbourne airports, has opened its doors to all international passengers — no matter the airline they’re travelling with or their class of ticket — for just $80.
“This has become an increasingly sought-after thing,” No1 Lounge founder Phil Cameron told news.com.au. When news.com.au visited the Sydney lounge, the a la carte menu included porcini gnocchi, braised brisket burgers and warm goats cheese crostini. On the buffet, there were three fresh salads and three hot dishes, including tagine and couscous, plus a selection of desserts, juices and soft drinks.“It’s about dining the way you want to dine. There are lot of fresh healthy options and also comfort food, and you can help yourself or be served, or a bit of everything,” Mr Cameron said.
“Quite often I go into a lounge and want to plug the phone in, be left in peace, keep myself hydrated and get on the Wi-Fi. I might be hungry, so knowing I can order something delicious that arrives really quickly or I can go and pick, is a really nice choice.
