Qantas has launched a major refresh of its regional lounge network, with upgrades commencing for seven lounges across Australia. The upgrades are part of the airline’s multi-million-dollar regional lounge investment, which is designed to deliver improved comfort, upgraded amenities and a more contemporary design for customers travelling through some of its key regional destinations.
Each lounge will receive a refreshed interior featuring a distinct, new colour palette inspired by the region’s natural landscapes. Customers can expect modern furniture and improved seating options, refined finishes such as new flooring and updated surfaces, as well as upgraded technology including more charging points and entertainment displays.
“These investments are part of our commitment to ensuring customers have great experience with us both on the ground and in the air,” said QantasLink CEO Mark Dal Pra. “We know how much our frequent flyers value our regional lounges, whether it’s to grab a drink and a snack, or as a quiet place to get some work done. We apologise for the inconvenience while we renovate, but we’re confident the finished product will make it worthwhile.”
The lounge upgrades are part of the Qantas Group’s broader investment in regional Australia, with the airline also investing in an extensive regional fleet renewal programme. This includes the addition of 11 state-of-the-art A220 aircraft, with 18 more on the way, and the transition to a single fleet of Q400s.
