I have recently acquired unlimited lounge access with Priority Pass until 2026, so take advantage of this lounge run by the Aspire Group in Terminal 1 of Sydney International Airport. Apparently, it used to be the Emirates lounge, and there are still left over amenities from that time, such as the Male and Female prayer rooms.

The lounge is located on the lower floor to the entrance, so you need to take a set or stairs of the elevator to reach it. Once there, it is filled with dark wooden hues which contrast with the bright, light, and airy view of the planes at their gates.

The food selection is quite good – roast lamb, ravioli, salads, pumpkin soup, and fresh whole fruit. There is also a bar with a selection of alcoholic beverages and a barista to make your favourite cup of coffee. A small selection of cakes and cookies tops it off.

Wifi is down today, but we can use the airport wifi which is strong. I do a little bit of work before heading off to board my flight.

Considering the cost is usually $80 to walk-in, my free membership with PP is a steal.
