Quite a busy, noisy lounge with a flurry of activity. This lounge differs from the Qantas Club lounge in that only Business Class and Platinum QFF members can enter. I am flying Business Class thanks to an upgrade today so can enter.

My initial reaction upon entry is sophistication, modern, clean, but soon turns to noisy, crowded, and boring. With the barista coffee machine constantly brewing, to the staff prancing around with their handheld vacuum cleaners, it is like a circus.

I don’t bother with the buffet as it is breakfast time and I ate at the hotel earlier, but settle for a double espresso with a dash of steamed milk.

WiFi is strong and newspapers abundant so read a couple before leaving to board the gate.
