Overview

  • Cathay Pacific’s Terminal 3 first class lounge has been rated Heathrow’s top premium space, outclassing the British Airways Concorde Room.
  • The lounge offers restaurant-style a la carte dining, shared showers and bathrooms with its business area, and an elegant, uncrowded atmosphere.
  • Qantas’s two-level, 13,000-square-foot business lounge is now recognized as the leading oneworld business option when its sit-down dining service operates.
  • The Qantas facility features barista-made coffee, a ground-floor marble bar with a la carte menu, an upstairs buffet, plus VIP and family rooms with capacity for 250 guests.
  • Qantas’s first class lounge project announced in 2023 has no confirmed location or construction timeline and is unlikely to open before 2028.
