I've got a lounge pass to use tomorrow, I'm flying overseas from Melbourne but via Sydney on a 2 hour layover.
Given it's only 2 hours (1 really when you factor in boarding/disembarking) would Qantas Melbourne Domestic Qantas Club lounge or Sydney International Business be better value? Haven't been to either so not sure if there's a huge difference in quality. I'm flying from T1 in both cases.
TIA

The food in the International lounge will be far superior as will the wines, but yes by the time you get there….

Agree with this.

The food and drinks will be better in the SYD Int J lounge but you need to get the international transfer bus from T3 -> T1 and then clear immigration and security. With a two hour connection I doubt you'd get much if any time at all in the lounge at Sydney.
